Custom OpenVMS Password Policy
OpenVMS includes the ability to extend the SET PASSWORD command to enforce a site-specific password policy. PARSEC Group can develop and integrate a policy based on your site requirements. We have developed custom policies for several of our clients to help them comply with both internal and legally mandated security requirements (HIPPA, Sarbanes-Oxley [SOX], SAS 70, etc.).
PARSEC Group has created a standardized password policy which meets the needs of many of our clients. If it does not meet your needs, consider having us develop the software solution to implement your policy.

- Minimum number of classes of characters represented
