Information Security is the responsibility of every member of the Worcester State University community. It affects us all in some way, even if your position at the College doesn’t require you to handle sensitive information on a daily basis. Data is one of the University’s most important assets, and its loss or theft can lead to serious financial and security consequences. In order to protect both the institution’s and our own personal information, we need to be aware of what comprises good data handling practices. Information security involves not just electronic data—it applies to any sensitive material in both electronic and paper form.  

This site was developed to help Worcester State University’s employees learn more about information security issues. Review the material contained on this site by clicking on the tabs located on the left side of this page. After you have reviewed the materials, click on the “Take the ISA Survey Here” graphic below. The ISA survey consists of a single question and serves as your attestation that you’ve reviewed WSU’s information security awareness materials and that you understand how they might apply to you.
