What does the On System Programming in IBM i System Administration Kit include?

The On System Programming in IBM i System Administration Kit includes 624 self-assessment questions across 14 operational and security domains, 14 scoring rubrics, a gap analysis matrix in Excel, a remediation roadmap template in Word, policy samples, and an 87-page assessment guide, all delivered as an instant digital download. The kit is designed to help IBM i administrators and security professionals systematically evaluate, score, and improve their system programming controls in alignment with IBM best practices and industry compliance standards.

Are you exposing your organisation to system downtime, security vulnerabilities, or compliance failures because your IBM i environment lacks a structured, auditable approach to on system programming? Without a rigorous self-assessment framework grounded in IBM i best practices, you risk undetected configuration drift, inefficient change management, and non-compliance with internal controls or regulatory standards like SOX, HIPAA, or PCI DSS. The On System Programming in IBM i System Administration Kit is the industry’s most comprehensive self-assessment solution for identifying and resolving critical gaps in your IBM i system programming practices, giving you full visibility, control, and confidence in your operational integrity from day one.

What You Receive

  • 624 structured self-assessment questions across 14 maturity domains including security configuration, object authority management, job scheduling, system backups, performance monitoring, and change control, enabling you to conduct a full audit-ready evaluation of your IBM i programming environment
  • 14 detailed scoring rubrics with weighted criteria and evidence-based validation steps, so you can quantify risk levels, benchmark progress, and justify remediation investments to stakeholders
  • Gap analysis matrix (Excel format) that maps each question to IBM i security and operations best practices, IBM Redbooks guidelines, and CIS IBM i Benchmark controls, providing instant traceability for auditors and compliance teams
  • Remediation roadmap template (Word) with prioritised action plans, RACI assignments, and milestone tracking, so you can turn findings into executable improvements within days, not weeks
  • Policy and procedure samples for program adoption, source code control, digital signatures, and library list management, accelerating your ability to document and enforce secure programming standards
  • Instant digital download of all 87-page assessment guide, supporting templates, and ready-to-use Excel workbooks, no waiting, no onboarding, immediate deployment in your environment

How This Helps You

Every unverified system program, unchecked authority override, or undocumented change increases your risk of privilege escalation, data corruption, or failed audits. This self-assessment forces systematic scrutiny of your on system programming controls, exposing hidden risks like *ALLOBJ misuse, unauthorised *SECOFR access, or untested emergency repair procedures. By answering the 624 targeted questions, you’ll generate a scored maturity profile across all critical domains, identify high-risk gaps in under an hour, and produce an auditor-ready report that demonstrates due diligence. Without this, you remain vulnerable to operational outages, insider threats, and regulatory penalties. With it, you gain evidence-based assurance, reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) configuration anomalies, and strengthen your entire IBM i security posture. This isn’t just an assessment, it’s your first line of defence in maintaining a compliant, resilient IBM i infrastructure.

Who Is This For?

  • IBM i System Administrators who need to validate and improve their on-system programming controls without relying on external consultants
  • IT Security Officers responsible for hardening IBM i systems against internal threats and ensuring alignment with enterprise security policies
  • Compliance Managers preparing for internal audits, SOX reviews, or third-party assessments requiring documented control evaluations
  • Change Management Leads seeking to standardise programming practices, enforce code promotion workflows, and prevent production incidents
  • IT Risk Analysts conducting control assessments across hybrid environments where IBM i systems are mission-critical but poorly documented

Choosing not to assess is not neutrality, it’s risk acceptance. In high-stakes IBM i environments, undocumented programming practices and unchecked privileges are liabilities, not efficiencies. The On System Programming in IBM i System Administration Kit empowers you to act decisively, validate rigorously, and govern confidently. This is the professional standard for maintaining control, compliance, and continuity in your IBM i operations.
