This Standard supports and supplements the University of Central Oklahoma’s Information Security Policy. The standard is mandatory and enforced in the same manner as policy. It will be periodically reviewed and updated as necessary to meet changes in legal and regulatory requirements.
The University of Central Oklahoma (“University” or “UCO”) systems, employees, and the data with which they interact are the cornerstone of UCO’s commitment to excellence. Protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and our data is essential to the work of the University, and it is the shared responsibility of UCO and all of its employees.
Confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and data can be achieved only through our collaborative effort, communication, and education. All UCO employees, departments, and units play a role in supporting and protecting UCO’s most sensitive institutional information assets.
By participating in information assurance awareness, training and education, members of the UCO community will help reduce the risk of data breaches; ensure awareness of and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and contractual agreements; and ultimately help support and protect UCO systems and data. Information assurance education and awareness will also provide individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to help protect their own devices and data.
