Security

Reporting a breach or exposure

If you suspect a breach or exposure, notify your manager or Department Chair and VIS immediately. In the case of theft, a police report will also need to be filed.

Data breach

Restricted or limited access data is accessed by an unauthorized person or people.

Data exposure

Restricted or limited access data is made available, regardless of intent, to an unauthorized person or people. Exposure implies that a breach may have occurred.
