Charter
Mission Statement
Achieving consistent IT Security programs at UC campuses, medical centers, and UC-managed laboratories is essential to achieve confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information resources. To achieve that goal, a systemwide standing committee reporting to the ITLC is charged to:
- advise the ITLC on major challenges arising from current and emerging security threats and vulnerabilities to University electronic information resources;
- monitor and report emerging legislation that impacts protection of information resources;
- propose University policy regarding security to comply with state and federal law and to address identified threats and vulnerabilities;
- recommend appropriate technical controls to promulgate consistent strategies to safeguard electronic information resources on their campuses and throughout UC; and
- foster immediate and secure sharing of sensitive protection, incident, and response information through a trusted collaborative environment.
Goal
- UC Information Technology Policy and Security (UCITPS) will focus on major challenges, legal and policy issues, and campus security programs.
Membership
The ITLC shall designate membership in UCITPS and in UCSIRC. UCSIRC members may also serve as UCITPS members.
- Members of UCITPS should be vested with authority to speak on behalf of IT security and IT policy for their campuses. Primary UCITPS members may designate other individuals from their respective campuses to participate in UCITPS discussions.
Administration
UCITPS conducts its business through periodic meetings, which are hosted on a rotating basis at UC campuses. The meeting host co-ordinates the meeting agenda in consultation with a Steering Group. Meeting agendas are announced in advance of meetings to allow input for agenda items by UCITPS membership. A designated UCITPS member will serve as liaison to report to the ITLC. To facilitate broader information exchange, a mailing list, maintained by IR&C, is open to interested UC staff.
