Summary/Purpose: | This policy articulates an enterprise-wide commitment to information security and sets standards for how confidential information maintained by the University of Mississippi (UM) is to be protected. The purpose of this policy is to ensure that UM employees at all levels, as well as contractors, understand their roles and responsibilities in reducing institutional risk as related to information security. Access to sensitive information is subject to policies, guidelines, and procedures that are set by UM, the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL), and the Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services (MS-DITS), as well as federal and state laws. Adequately securing customer information is not only the law but also good business sense. Poorly managed customer data opens doors to identity theft and provides access to sensitive information that could result in loss to customers. |
