DoD 5015.2 Resource Kit for SharePoint Server 2007

Managed by the Joint Interoperability Test Command of the United States Department of Defense, the DoD 5015.2 Standard is a well-known industry standard that sets the bar for records management applications in the enterprise content management (ECM) industry. The standard offers guidelines for how records and permissions should be managed, the automation of periodic review of vital records, the management of e-mail as records, and the ability to support multi-phase lifecycle management for documents that require more-complex retention rules. When choosing a records management solution, many companies and other organizations in highly-regulated industries will only consider a DoD 5015.2 certified solution.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 with the DoD Resource Kit received certification on May 23, 2007. It is listed on the JITC product register.
