IT Security and Risk Management

The University of Newcastle routinely gathers, stores, maintains, processes, transmits and destroys information. That information plays a vital role in supporting the University’s business processes and customer services, in contributing to operational and strategic business decisions, and in conforming to legal and statutory requirements. Accordingly, information must be protected to a level commensurate with its value to the organisation, while being made available to those who need it.

The University also has a legal obligation to ensure that private information is managed in accordance with the principles outlined in the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 No133, the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002, the Protected Disclosures Act 1994 and the State Records Act 1998.

The University of Newcastle has embarked on a series projects aimed at aligning the Information Security Management System with Australian Standard 17799 (27001).

Further information on the University's Information Security policy suite, Risk Management approach and Awareness campaign, will be available in the future.
