All statewide clients can log-in to the SORM Risk Management Information System (RMIS) using a pre-assigned user ID and password. The agency’s designated Primary Risk Manager has the ability and responsibility for approving and creating user profiles and managing security levels for the RMIS tool. The RMIS system is secured to prevent unauthorized data entry. For security reasons, SORM has a strict policy regarding whom at state agencies will be granted access to the Security and Contact Systems. SORM will only grant read and write access to the Security and Contact Systems to the person at each state agency who is designated as the Primary Risk Manager.
Span of Control
Generally speaking, each agency will have personnel specifically designated to access specific functions of the Risk Management Information System on behalf of that agency. A state agency may enter and retrieve data for their agency only unless specific authorization to access other agencies’ information has been granted by SORM. In the situation where an agency representative is responsible for more than one agency, the agency Primary Risk Manager must be notified of this fact and the agencies under the client’s purview as established by law or memorandum of understanding. In this situation, a single user ID and password will suffice for the governing agency to exercise the appropriate span of control.
Password Security
Clients are expected to keep their passwords secure and not share it with other personnel. In the event that a compromise of the client’s password is suspected, the client should immediately log into the system and create a new password for the account.
