This is interesting to me as well … I am working on one now … not ready for
prime time yet and I would be interested to see what others are doing … we
have expanded ours to include data ownership and responsibilities.

Subject: [SECURITY] Data "Sharing" Policy

Good morning.  Does anyone have a written policy they could share governing
how sensitive data should "move" across your organization?  We have a
situation where individuals/departments are (for example) collecting info
from prospective students on their own via the Web.

We need a policy that not only addresses this use of home-grown forms, but
also sending sensitive info via (unencrypted) email, etc., and even via
non-digital means (e.g. applications with SS#s in a briefcase taken off
campus).  We also need to define what "sensitive," "confidential," etc.
means in the context of data....

We have an "acceptable use" policy that mentions this topic, but with
inadequate specificity.


Thanks,

Kevin
