    Hi Steve, have you seen the response above from Hans?

    That sounds like you want to be sure the relevant configuration assertions are also present, and not just the DEFSENS? That could currently be achieved by a NEWLIST TYPE=RESOURCE and NEWLIST TYPE=SENSDSN summarizing the PRIV_SENSTYPE field. And also, SCKRCARL member CKALSTDC shows the configuration assertions used in a AU.R.E submitted batch compliance run.

    Yes, I did. The issue is that our auditors want to see evidence that all our site-defined sensitivity types are being taken into consideration for newlist type=trusted. As the newlist only reports on sensitivity types that have corresponding access entitlements, our auditors want to be assured that they have been taken into consideration, and that the definitions have not been somehow bypassed/removed/dropped from zSecure. Seems like a reasonable request to me.

    Did you have a look at IN.S ? That is supposed to be updated with the product maintenance.
