1 Purpose

The Information Security Steering Committee of Clarkson University has adopted these information security Standards, which deﬁne the appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards over sensitive information. These standards are designed to:

● Ensure that the safeguards adequately address the legal, regulatory, and mandatory requirements for information security;

● Provide adequate coverage of the recommended best practices spanning in the eighteen NIST Control Families; and

● Give a general assurance level that the conﬁdentiality, integrity, and availability of the University's assets will be upheld.

These Standards are based upon NIST 800-53 rev4 and they represent the What elements of information security that are speciﬁc to the University. Clarkson University will update these standards as need arises and will continue to review them annually. As these standards are not policy, updates shall not require Board approval, but will be reviewed and formally approved by the Information Security Steering Committee at least annually.

In addition to the Standards deﬁned here, Clarkson University also maintains a set of procedures, plans and processes that deﬁne the How, When, and Who elements of information security and the expected behavior of personnel as they work to carry out the Standards in an approved manner that upholds these Standards.

2 Scope

These standards are applicable to all information in the possession of the University, including its aﬃliates and its agents, which may be stored, processed, or transmitted by any means. This includes electronic information, information on paper, and information shared orally or visually (e.g., telephone and video conferencing). Also included is any information in storage or in electronic or physical transmission outside of the University's facilities (e.g., service providers).

3 Roles & Responsibilities

Ultimate accountability for the Information Security controls rests with the Director of Network Services and Information Security. The control owners are accountable to ensure that the controls assigned to them are in-place and eﬀective throughout the scope of the organization for which the controls apply.

● For administrative controls, the control owner will most likely oversee the execution of controls and possibly will be the implementor of the controls as well.

● For technical controls, the control owner is accountable, and may or may not choose to have IT implement the controls on their behalf.

● For physical controls, there will be a division of labor between the control owner and the facilities team.

OM 9.1.2 - Information Security Standards

1 Purpose

The Information Security Steering Committee of Clarkson University has adopted these information security Standards, which deﬁne the appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards over sensitive information. These standards are designed to:

● Ensure that the safeguards adequately address the legal, regulatory, and mandatory requirements for information security;

● Provide adequate coverage of the recommended best practices spanning in the eighteen NIST Control Families; and

● Give a general assurance level that the conﬁdentiality, integrity, and availability of the University's assets will be upheld.

2 Scope

3 Roles & Responsibilities

● For administrative controls, the control owner will most likely oversee the execution of controls and possibly will be the implementor of the controls as well.

● For technical controls, the control owner is accountable, and may or may not choose to have IT implement the controls on their behalf.

● For physical controls, there will be a division of labor between the control owner and the facilities team.
