1. Purpose and Background

The University of Virginia’s Information Security of University Technology Resources policy, establishes the requirement for all departments to participate in the Information Security Risk Management Program. All departments within the University, College at Wise, Medical Center, and University-Associated Organizations (UAOs) are required to complete an annual information security risk assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of IT security controls, and thus identify and assess IT risks within their environments. The Information Security office is charged with assisting departments in the completion of this task by coordinating and distributing the required annual Information Security Risk Management tool, as outlined in the Information Security Risk Management Standard. The Information Security office establishes the annual timeline for its completion, and acts as the central repository for the completed assessments.

This procedure applies to all departments or units; however, representatives of reporting departments comprised of multiple departmental units may choose to use the tool on behalf the department and its units rather than submitting multiple assessments for such departments.
