Information Security & Privacy Program

Introduction

Information technology is woven into the fabric of the university and our daily lives. The loss, corruption, or exposure of information can disrupt Indiana University's mission, damage its reputation, or result in financial penalties. Individuals face risks like the threat of financial loss and identity theft.

The Information Security and Privacy Program aims to safeguard IU's people, data, and IT operations. The purpose of the program is to protect the organization and its community members from security and privacy harms. The program maintains this goal while still enabling the safe and responsible use of information to meet institutional and personal goals. The program also promotes the appropriate use of IU's information assets, respects individual privacy, and holds everyone who encounters information or information technology assets accountable to high ethical standards.

Privacy complaints should be reported to the appropriate IU privacy official. See Policy ISPP-27 for contact information.
