Institutional Environment Policy

Purpose

To provide Â鶹ӰÊÓ with guidance in identifying and gaining an understanding of the components of the institution that make up its information security system and thereby enable Â鶹ӰÊÓ to manage cybersecurity risk to systems, assets, data, and capabilities.

Policy

Â鶹ӰÊÓ’s objectives, stakeholders, and activities are understood and prioritized; this information is used by Â鶹ӰÊÓ to inform cybersecurity roles, responsibilities, and risk management decisions.

Summary

  • Â鶹ӰÊÓ provides services such as the Learning Management System (currently Sakai) and the Student Information System as a service to other colleges in the Claremont University Consortium.
  • Â鶹ӰÊÓ addresses security issues in support of its services.
  • Â鶹ӰÊÓ establishes alternative services as back up of essential functions in the event that part of the infrastructure or the service becomes unavailable.
  • Knowing and understanding the critical assets of the College and those consortial services facilitates the prioritization of resources.
