Through the district’s emerging Information Privacy and Security Program (IPSP), the district aims to proactively minimize the need for responding to an information breach; however, employees will need to be aware of when a breach of sensitive information has occurred and how to address such breaches.
Events and/or Incidents to report to your location Information Privacy and Security Incident Response Coordinator include but are not limited to:
- Sensitive Information in hard copy(s) (paper), electronic, or any form of student(s), and/or employee(s) record(s), document(s), application(s) or information that may have been lost, stolen, missing, accidentally released, sent to the wrong person, misused, involved in unauthorized access and/or large scale intrusions.
- Electronic Device containing sensitive information (e.g., laptop, USB storage, PDA, etc.) may have been lost or stolen.
- Breach of information security (account(s) compromised)
|
If you are unable to reach your Incident Response Coordinator in a timely manner, then report the incident(s) to the DSC Information Privacy and Security Incident Response Coordinator (Novell log in required).
“When in doubt – Report it”
The following types of events and/or incidents should be reported directly to your location’s Information Technology staff:
- Intrusion of computer networks via the network (often referred to as “hacking”)
- Occurrence of computer viruses (an “infection” by a virus, worm, or Trojan program)
- Denial of service attacks (lack of network response)
|
All criminal incidents or other suspicious activity (including threats to your personal security) should be reported directly to the College Police Department.
