Updated IT security policy

31 July

All Staff are advised that a revised “Staff Responsibility for Information Security” Policy has now been issued.  The new version is 2013.1, dated July 2013

The main amendment to this policy is point 8 as below:

8       It is important to ensure that staff do not have greater access to University data than they need to do their jobs. If you are a manager and there are staff changes in your team (including starters, internal transfers and leavers for both permanent and temporary staff) please inform IS&T so that any access issues can be addressed promptly.

It is essential that everyone with responsibility for arranging the movement of staff pays particular notice to this section. The relevant HR forms include a link to notify IS&T.

A full copy of the amended Policy and all relevant IT Security Policies can be found on the Electronic Information Security Framework (EISF), located here: http://eisf.shu.ac.uk/

If you have any queries regarding this or any other IT policies or if you have any IT security queries, then contact the University IT Security Officer by email at itso@shu.ac.uk or telephone on extension 6486.
