Created by Stuart Yeates (University of Oxford) on November 24, 2005

New guidelines on information security and safety were today issued to all colleges and universities in the UK. The guidelines, issued by JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) and UCISA (Universities and Colleges Information Systems Association), are aimed at helping educational institutions reap the benefits of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) while protecting themselves, their staff and students from online threats.

The document, produced by UCISA, covers such topics as outsourcing, planning and personnel, as well as more immediate matters such as cryptography, teleworking and user management.

Unfortunately the documents are released under a very-nearly but not quite Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike licence.
