Audit Templates (Standalone)

This document provides a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) Audit Checklist and list of vendor security products developed to protect PDAs against known, evolving, and new security threats. A PDA is a handheld computer that stores, processes, and transfers information to other PDAs, personal computers (PCs), and networks using serial, universal serial bus (USB), infrared (IR), Bluetooth, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), or cellular technology. Traditional or standalone PDAs have no cell phone capability, unlike newer PDAs, including Smartphones. Handheld features often include personal information management (PIM) software, office and multimedia applications, email and Internet capability, and a global positioning system (GPS) option. Touch screens support user interactions through a stylus pen and onscreen keyboard or mini- or full-sized keyboard, or by hand.
