Abstract

This research bulletin presents a methodology, used successfully at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) in Australia, for managing and assessing risks related to information technology systems and resources. It describes the institutional commitment, background, organizational structure, methodology, implementation, and outcomes of an institutionally inclusive risk assessment that yielded valuable results that can be applied in other colleges and universities.
