SUBJECT
Internet Security Policy
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish management direction, procedures, and requirements to ensure the appropriate protection of Northern College (NC) information and equipment by Internet connections.
Scope
This policy applies to all employees, contractors, consultants, temporaries, and other users at Northern College, including those users affiliated with third parties who access Northern College computer networks. Throughout this policy, the word “worker” will be used to collectively refer to all such individuals. The policy also applies to all computer and data communication systems owned by and/or administered by Northern College.
Specific policy
All information traveling over Northern College computer networks that has not been specifically identified as the property of other parties will be treated as though it is a Northern College corporate asset. It is the policy of Northern College to prohibit unauthorized access, disclosure, duplication, modification, diversion, destruction, loss, misuse, or theft of this information.
In addition, it is the policy of Northern College to protect information belonging to third parties that has been entrusted to Northern College in confidence as well as in accordance with applicable contracts and industry standards.
Introduction
The new resources, new services, and interconnectivity available via the Internet all introduce new opportunities and new risks. In response to the risks, this policy describes Northern College’s official policy regarding Internet security. It applies to all users (employees, contractors, temporaries, etc.) who use the Internet with Northern College computing or networking resources, as well as those who represent themselves as being connected-in one way or another-with Northern College.
All Internet users are expected to be familiar with and comply with these policies. Questions should be directed to the Manager of Information Technology and Property. Violations of these policies can lead to revocation of system privileges and/or disciplinary action, including termination.
