Minimum Security Standards for Electronic Information

The Minimum Security Standards for Electronic Information (MSSEI) define baseline data protection profiles for UC Berkeley campus data. Each baseline data protection profile is a minimum set of security controls required by UC Berkeley.

Email Service Policy

Campus Email Service supplies email and mailing list services in support of the University's mission of education, research and public service and to conduct the University's business. Access to and use of Campus Email Service is a privilege accorded at the discretion of the University. Use of campus email service is subject to legal and policy restrictions that apply to all University property and by constraints necessary for the reliable operation of electronic communication systems and services. The Berkeley Campus reserves the right to deny access to use campus email service when necessary to satisfy these restrictions and constraints.

Departmental Information Security Contact Policy

This Policy establishes responsibilities of Departments and Information Security Contacts in order to ensure that the UC Berkeley Information Security Office (ISO) is able to contact departments in the event of a security incident. The ability to quickly contact responsible personnel and have them take appropriate action is critical in mitigating the negative effects of an incident.

Copyright Notices on Campus Websites

Although a notice is not legally required to assert copyright on works published on and after March 1, 1989, displaying a copyright notice on websites is still a very good idea. A notice clarifies who owns the work, emphasizes that the owner asserts copyright, and encourages contact by those who wish to use the material. If any legal disputes arise, a posted notice may help defend against claims of "innocent infringement".

Campus Information Technology Security Policy

In order to fulfill its mission of teaching, research, and public service, the campus is committed to providing a secure yet open network that protects the integrity and confidentiality of information while maintaining its accessibility. Each member of the campus community is responsible for the security and protection of electronic information resources over which they have control. Resources to be protected include networks, computers, software, and data. The physical and logical integrity of these resources must be protected against threats such as unauthorized intrusions, malicious misuse, or inadvertent compromise. Activities outsourced to off-campus entities must comply with the same or equivalent security requirements as in-house activities.
