It describes the lifecycle of data and information and the systems, products, projects, processes, policies, and responsibilities that relate to that lifecycle.

Data Resources, Access, Classification, and Usage

Florence Kesler — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 16:05:23 +0000

Information is one of the university's most valuable assets, and its value is increased through widespread and appropriate use. The university grants access to the greatest extent possible while recognizing the responsibility to secure data appropriately. Consistent with the university's obligation to preserve and protect such information by all appropriate means, access to information is made available only where there exists a valid business purpose.

The university, as the owner of all data, delegates responsibility for its oversight to the Chief Information Officer (CIO). The university provides these resources to support the academic and administrative functions of the institution, and it expects the responsible use of the same. All users of the university's information resources are expected to demonstrate the highest respect for the rights of others in their use of these resources. This policy defines these expectations to ensure that the use of data and information resources is safe, secure, and compliant with applicable laws.

Information Security

Information is one of the university's most valuable assets, and its value is increased through widespread and appropriate use. The university grants access to the greatest extent possible while recognizing the responsibility to secure data appropriately. The university provides these resources to support the academic and administrative functions of the institution, and it expects the responsible use of the same.

Consistent with the university's obligation to preserve and protect such information by all appropriate means, access to information is made available only where there exists a valid business purpose. Additionally, the University is committed to protecting its data against threats such as malicious misuse, unauthorized intrusions, and inadvertent compromise. Every 91��Ƶ department and employee is responsible for the integrity and security of university data used, controlled, or accessed within their area. Activities outsourced to off-campus entities must comply with the same security requirements as in-house activities. This policy establishes parameters for the protection of university data.

Password Management

Visitor — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 15:31:49 +0000

Passwords are an important aspect of computer security. They are the front line of protection for user accounts and ultimately for 91��Ƶ’s computer systems. A poorly chosen password can compromise the security and integrity of AUP's network and result in unauthorized access to confidential data. The purpose of this policy is to establish a standard for the creation of strong passwords, the protection of those passwords, and the frequency of changing these passwords.
