Subject:  Update regarding Guidelines for Internal and External Reporting of 
Data System Security Breaches 

 

This note is to make you aware that we have updated the contact information 
in the Guidelines for Internal and External Reporting of Data System 
Security Breaches, posted on the Web at: 

http://lct.msu.edu/documents/security-breach-guidelines.pdf 


Reportable security incidents should be reported to the Academic Computing 
and Network Services Helpdesk, 432-6200; please follow the recorded 
instructions for reporting a “security incident”.  This point of contact 
will help us to alert the appropriate network security staff at any time. 


Prompt internal reporting of security incidents is critical to the 
University’s ability to protect confidential and proprietary data and to 
be compliant with a wide range of data and privacy protection regulations 
and contractual obligations.  The Guidelines provide information regarding 
what constitutes an internally reportable data system security breach 
incident, definitions of confidential and proprietary data, breach reporting 
procedures and responsibilities, and procedures the University will follow 
to determine if external notice of a breach is necessary, and how external 
notification will be done. 


Please share this information with your data systems and network 
administrators. 


Thank you.
