(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000207/FILENETLOGO ) Created in June 2002, the DoD 5015.2-STD Chapter 4 certification helps to ensure the security of official records and meet federal information sharing requirements specifically for classified information. The DoD Chapter 4 certification is required for all records management solutions implemented by the DoD and other federal agencies that regularly handle classified content.
