Overview

The information risk team provides guidance on information security risk management and privacy assessments to various units and divisions to enable them to manage information security risk exposure. This helps senior management to make risk-informed decisions. We also conduct risk assessments for IT systems (software, platforms, applications, webpages and services) that are implemented at the University.
