Information Security Standards
Procedures, Standards & Resources
¶¡ÏãÔ°AV (the "University") is committed to protecting the Digital Information and Electronic Systems that are critical to teaching, research, business operations, and other University activities that are vital to the work and communities we support.
As required under Policy GP 24: Acceptable Use and Security of Digital Information and Electronic Systems, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has published Information Security Standards that govern the use and protection of University data and computing resources.
All users of ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Electronic Information and Systems are responsible for following these standards.
No. | Standard | Purpose | Scope | Date Revised (mm/dd/yyyy) |
01 | Vulnerability Management Standard [PDF] |
As ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV becomes more dependent on Electronic Systems to achieve new, strategic objectives and sustain ongoing operations, there is an increasing risk of disruption from potential exploitation of vulnerabilities in those systems. The purpose of this standard is to reduce the risk of compromise through a consistent and repeatable Vulnerability Management Program. |
This standard applies to the Electronic Systems that provide or support ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV services hosted within ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV cloud, the campus network, third party data centers, and cloud service providers. |

03 | Identity and Access Management Standard [PDF] | The purpose of this standard is to regulate access to ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV's Digital Information and Electronic Systems, ensuring only necessary privileges are granted.
