IT Policy Framework

The overarching IT Policy Framework is a high-level description of the IT policies, outlining their purpose and the process by which are maintained. 

The IT Policy Framework outlines structures and processes that are relevant across all policies such as:

  • IT policy governance structure
  • Common terms which are reused throughout all IT policies
  • IT resource monitoring
  • Policy breach protocol

UCC IT policies are divided into two areas: policies pertaining to IT Service Resource Usage and Security, and policies pertaining to UCC Data. 

 

 

Other policies that should be read in conjunction with these include HR, OCLA and Legal and Statutory regulations.  DEWG has overall responsibility for IT policies
