A
Comprehensive Tools List
is available by the Department of Management Services. This

conformance with the accessibility standards under Section 508

Recommendations and Additional Information:
Protection of FDOT data is of upmost importance. In order to
protect the Department’s resources the following items should be
considered and mitigated.
Website/Application Security Risk Considerations:
Weak administrative security controls (e.g. weak or shared passwords)
Directory traversal attacks
Data Risk Considerations:
Hosted sites should not contain information about the FDOT
internal network or details about FDOT access controls that
could be used to compromise our network.
Other Considerations to Mitigate Security Risks:
Protection against Denial of Service (DoS) or Distributed Denial
of Service (DDoS) attacks
Incident response procedures
Responsibility for mitigating incident responses
Protection against web crawlers
Non-FDOT content or links on the FDOT site
Appropriate finalization and/or cleanup of the site after the
project is complete
The FDOT supports Consultant Managed Static Websites and encourages the development teams of such websites to become familiar with the Department’s in-house Standards:
