The Miami University Information Security Office
 

Welcome to the Information Security Office

Computing and network security is paramount in the development of Miami University’s information technology initiatives. Liability and responsibility issues must be considered at each and every planning juncture. The Information Security Office is a critical new venture for IT Services and provides a much-needed resource to the university community regarding data and network security.

Our services include the following:

Consulting and Security Assessments:
As new systems and capabilities appear, it is necessary to ensure that they will not compromise the existing security architecture. This office is charged with reviewing and in some cases approving these systems.
 
Compliance Review:
Miami University manages information which is protected by FERPA, GLBA and HIPAA regulations. As part of this office's mission, there is continuous review of the environment to ensure that the provisions of these regulations are met.
 
Policy Review:
Policies, as they relate to Information Security and Information Protection, are periodically examined.
 
Security Infrastructure:
The Information Security Office participates in the planning of infrastructual changes and improvements to ensure that the security architecture is protected.
 
Incident Response:
Depending upon the type of event, the Information Security Office may become involved to ensure University security policies are adhered to throughout.
 
Security Awareness:
As part of the office's mandate, Information Security awareness courses are planned and scheduled for the year.
