Let me ask you again - *where specifically* does it actually say that
all systems that process data must be certified or compliant with a
specific standard? The Zakon is very vague on the exact criteria and
that is for a reason... The closest thing I could find to what you are
describing was on the FSTEC site in relation to *State* Secrets...

Besides, if *all* systems that process personal data had to be
certified, you do realise that includes telephones, PBXes, PDAs and so
on?.. I think you're over-reacting...


Cheers,
