Data security and privacy
The Information Security and Privacy Office (ISPO) is part of the Information Technology department and has university-wide responsibilities. We serve the entire New School community, including students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
Among other things, our office:
- develops policies, standards, and guidelines for security and privacy
- delivers information security and privacy awareness training so that faculty and staff understand their responsibilities when handling personal data.
- negotiates the privacy and security aspects of contracts for vendors that process data, such as Canvas, Banner, WorkDay
- responds to data breach events and incidents
- leads the implementation of privacy and security technologies and services
For specific guidance for faculty, please review the Privacy Information and Security Guidance for Faculty.
