At CCNY, keeping our information and information systems secure is essential. This responsibility goes beyond just technology, tools, and protocols — it also requires your awareness and commitment to following well-established security principles. Security breaches can result in serious consequences, including identity theft, legal liability, reputational damage, and disruption to shared systems.

Our students and staff trust us to safeguard their personal information. The Information Security Office (ISO) is dedicated to defending this data against both external threats and internal errors. All staff — particularly those handling sensitive information — must be familiar with CUNY's Information Security policies, procedures, and applicable laws.
