Enforcement

Failure to comply with the ×î¿ì¿ª½±Ö±²¥½ÁÖé½á¹û Cybersecurity Standards puts the University System, its component institutions, and its information and information technology resources at risk and may result in disciplinary action. Disciplinary procedures will be proportionally appropriate for the individual responsible for noncompliance (e.g., students, faculty, staff, vendors) as outlined in the relevant institutional regulations for that individual (e.g., student conduct and/or applicable personnel policies). Non-compliant technology and/or activities may be mitigated as deemed necessary by the CISO and/or CIO. Employees who are members of institutionally recognized bargaining units are covered by the disciplinary provisions set forth in the agreement for their bargaining units.

Exceptions

Requests for exceptions to any of the ×î¿ì¿ª½±Ö±²¥½ÁÖé½á¹û Cybersecurity Standards may be submitted and approved according to the requirements provided in the Cybersecurity Exception Standard.
