8.2 Incident Response Process

Policy

Each School and Central Administration unit must have, disseminate, and use an incident response process.

Discussion

University rules require that each School and Central Administration unit have, disseminate, and use an incident response process.  Such a process must include promptly notifying the proper authorities of any incident involving a breach of security, documenting responsive actions taken in connection with such a breach, a post-incident review of events and documenting any recommendations to make changes in business practices in response to the breach.

In the case of a breach involving high risk confidential information prompt notice must be given to the OGC and either the University CIO or the University Information Security Officer.  In the case of a breach involving credit or debit card information prompt notice must also be given to Cash Management.
