the DOD standard was not developed to meet legal admissibility
requirements. Rather it is a set of functional requirements that DOD
wanted to see in EDRM systems. If a company wanted to sell there
product to a DOD agency it needed to be certified that it met the
functional requirements set forth in 5015.2
Ver 3 is currently under review and I believe that comments are being

there is a big difference between being DOD certified and compliant
with. to be DOD certified the product must undergo a rigorous set of
tests. If a vendor says it is compliant than I would suspect that it
has not been certified by DOD.
