Over the last year, the University’s responsibilities for managing information and data security have become more demanding and we are responding with a robust programme of changes. These span improvements to our infrastructure and network, to day-to-day systems and processes for security and information management.

An important priority during this period of change has been to provide regular updates, like this one, to keep everyone aware and informed about the work we’re undertaking.

Now, we’re launching a new Security and Information Management website.

The new site will provide everyone at Warwick with a single, easy-to-find location for all our important guidance on University security and information management. In two clicks from the Privacy tab on any Warwick web page, you can now access our Privacy Notices, our Data Protection statement and our new Policy Framework on Information Management, Governance and Security.

Why do we need this?

The information the University creates and manages needs to be kept secure, safely managed and available to the right people at the right time. The comprehensive Policy Framework formally adopted by Council and Senate in early July, provides a structure to understand the full scope of these activities across the University.

The new website is part of our commitment to a programme of work that will deliver a more secure working environment for all staff and students at Warwick. The site development was a collaborative project between the Chief Information & Digital Officer's team, ITS and Internal Communications, with all three areas coming together to deliver content. Please check the website regularly as we continue to post important messages over the coming months. Reading and sharing this content will help increase awareness and understanding of key projects and processes.
