Application System Development Policy

This Policy applies to major application system development or enhancement. "Major" means either a system that has users in more than one department, or a single-department system that is expected to cost more than $100,000, to develop and implement. Cost includes hardware, software, and contract personnel.

Administering Appropriate Use of Campus Computing and Network Services

These Guidelines are intended to assist Berkeley Campus departments or units to ensure appropriate use of their computing and network services and to respond correctly to allegations of misuse. Berkeley Campus departments or units may choose to provide or not provide computing and network services to defined categories of users, and may limit the types of services they do choose to provide. These decisions are based upon consideration of campus or local department or unit missions, available resources, or other academic or business needs and priorities. Berkeley Campus departments or units who do provide computing and network services (hereinafter referred to as "Providers") must ensure that their services are administered in compliance with any applicable regulations and principles. To this end, they must keep themselves informed regarding current regulations and practices, consulting with campus authorities or documentation resources as required. Since the Campus may be viewed as one legal entity, actions taken by Providers in response to allegations of misuse must be as consistent as possible for similar situations, both within a particular department or unit as well as in comparison to others on campus. To help Providers meet this requirement, various campus resource offices are available for consultation and/or referral for action.

Privacy and Online Monitoring

Defines requirements for notice, analysis, review, and approval of routine monitoring practices. If monitoring involves electronic communications, the escalation process for non-routine use of monitoring data must meet the requirements of the systemwide Electronic Communications policy.

Privacy Statement for UC Berkeley Websites

Ensures that campus websites and servers do not actively share (re-distribute or sell) personally-identifiable information that they may collect

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.
