I forgot to mention that you may see some discrepancies between some of the summary statistics and those in the file. Those are the result of classifying some of the write-in responses into the original buckets. Mike From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Mike Chapple Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2008 7:52 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Handling Standard Survey Results Colleagues, Thank you for taking the time to participate in the handling standards survey I sent out last week. We found the results quite interesting and would like to share them back with the group for your use. Overall, we received 55 responses to our request. Here's a summary of some of the results we found most interesting: . 56% of institutions have an existing classification scheme. . The majority (81%) of institutions with a classification scheme have three levels of classification. . Of those that have a classification scheme, 70% have defined handling standards for the highest level of classification (HS). . Of those that have defined handling standards for their highest level of classification: o 79% require departments to identify HS information o 50% require retention schedules for HS information o 54% require physical security of some kind (locked drawer and/or locked room) for HS information o 43% require confidentiality agreements for those handling HS information o 36% have a labeling requirement for HS information . For stored data of the highest classification level: o 78% require encryption for laptops and removable media o 35% require encryption for individual workstations o 21% require encryption for all stored information of the highest classification . For e-mails containing information from the highest level: o 36% require encryption for all e-mail recipients o 29% require encryption for off-campus e-mail recipients o 14% prohibit e-mail outright I've also attached the complete summary file containing all of the survey questions. Thanks again for your participation! Mike
