Information security

The security of information is of crucial importance to the University. It is the responsibility of all staff to ensure that any information they handle in pursuance of University business is managed appropriately.

IT Security oversees developing awareness and guidance in this area. All staff must complete a mandatory online training course about Cyber Security Awareness, which is available in Moodle.

The University has also introduced an Information Classification, Labelling and Handling Policy to enable staff to categorise and manage information appropriately, taking into account the sensitivity of the information and mitigating risks that arise from loss, theft or unauthorised access.

All members of the University are responsible for ensuring compliance with the Data Protection Act that relates to personal data.
