Written Information Security Policy
Classification of data is a critical element of any mature information security program and fundamental to securing Hamilton College information assets.
Electronic information at Hamilton College is stored on central servers and on individual desktop computers. This networked environment also poses significant risk to the security of information. Protecting this College resource is a shared responsibility between Library and Information Technology Services (LITS) and the individual users of that information. This policy covers information maintained by administrative offices of the college related to the business of the college and accessed by members of the college community.
