The Privacy Matters @ UBC initiative aims to increase the awareness of privacy and information security at UBC. Higher education institutions are often the target of data breaches, which not only affect the individuals whose personal information is compromised, but also the organization experiencing the breach.
Through comprehensive communication strategy and online training, our goal is to provide the campus community with the information needed to protect personal information and to keep UBC's data secure.
Privacy & Information Security Management
Privacy and Information Security Management (PrISM) at UBC is a coordinated effort between Safety & Risk Services, the Office of the University Counsel, and the Office of the CIO.
The mandate of PrISM is to ensure the protection of privacy and security of UBC Electronic Information and Systems through:
- Security governance
- Technology
- Training, awareness and communications
- Risk management and compliance support
- System identification and classification
