Virginia Western’s computer systems are governed by VWCC guidelines, VCCS guidelines and Commonwealth of Virginia policy. These standards are revised frequently in order to adapt to changing security challenges. Information and Educational Technologies is tasked with managing VWCC compliance as a system owner.  Storage guidelines are part of an overall effort to improve information systems reliability and security in the Commonwealth of Virginia, as well as protect the privacy of the individuals we serve.

Our systems are subject to APA and VCCS audits. As a user of resources governed by this standard, your stewardship is a key element of our compliance efforts.

Raising security awareness and assessing risks is the key to any successful information system security program.
