This Standard supports and supplements the University of Central Oklahoma’s (“University” or “UCO”) 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.
Access management and authentication protocols help to protect University systems and institutional data. This Standard applies to processes and procedures implemented to protect data and access to devices, systems, services, and applications across the user lifecycle for any type of account, including accounts with privileged access, whether provisioned locally or at the enterprise-level.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) as a discipline is a foundational element of UCO’s Information Security program and the one that University users interact with the most. IAM establishes procedures for verifying the identity and eligibility of individuals seeking to access and use information technology resources.
