UITS Information Security and Privacy Program
As a part of the on-going commitment to protect and secure confidential campus data, the UITS CIO Cabinet has approved the creation of the UITS Information Security and Privacy Program, ISPP.
The ISPP is designed to meet state, federal and campus policy requirements by providing standardized training regarding information security and privacy subjects.
Implementation for the program as well as specific roles and responsibilities are defined by UITS Work Practice 9.
Employee responsibilities for the initial implementation:
Current UITS employees, as of 4/2/12, will complete the ISPP by 6/2/12.
