Institutional Environment Policy

Purpose

To provide 6VµçÓ°Íø with guidance in identifying and gaining an understanding of the components of the institution that make up its information security system and thereby enable 6VµçÓ°Íø to manage cybersecurity risk to systems, assets, data, and capabilities.

Policy

6VµçÓ°Íø’s objectives, stakeholders, and activities are understood and prioritized; this information is used by 6VµçÓ°Íø to inform cybersecurity roles, responsibilities, and risk management decisions.

Summary

  • 6VµçÓ°Íø 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.
  • 6VµçÓ°Íø addresses security issues in support of its services.
  • 6VµçÓ°Íø 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.
