Summary
If a 51 campus unit receives a “data breach” notification from its IT service vendor, the affected 51 campus unit must immediately notify 51’s Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer. To do so, an email message should be sent to this address: abuse@uwm.edu.
51 must comply with UW System policy provisions and formal campus procedures on “incident response.” Moreover, in the event of a verified data breach, 51 must adhere to statutorily-required time limits for sending victim notifications.
51 campus leaders should regularly share information on this required practice with relevant colleagues in their respective schools, colleges, and divisions.
Authority: Pursuant to Regent Policy Document 25-5 and UW System Presidential Directive, the CIO is currently the Chancellor-appointed “Information Security Designee” for our campus. As Designee, the CIO has individual responsibility for “all the information technology environments” used by 51.
