UNLV has adopted an information security program to assure compliance with GLBA provisions for safeguarding customer information. The FTC’s regulations require that the information security program contains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are appropriate to the size and complexity of the institution or servicer, the nature and scope of their activities, and the sensitivity of any student information. Key initiatives of the program include:

• Designating a qualified individual responsible for overseeing and implementing the University’s information security program and enforcing the information security program.
• Identifying risks to the security of customer information (including a risk management of computer information systems).
• Contractually requiring service providers to implement and maintain safeguards.

Additional GLBA initiatives include:

• Annual GLBA awareness training
• Conducting periodic GLBA risk assessments

• Units identified that are responsible for data and information security, physical safeguards, and/or that collect, process, or utilize customer financial information are:
  • Office of Information Technology
  • Financial Aid & Scholarships
  • Office of the Registrar
  • Controller's Office
• University units periodically:
  • Assess their current customer information practices
  • Identify vulnerabilities
  • Take appropriate measures to secure customer information

This committee meets periodically to discuss current and emerging issues related to GLBA - Student Information Security.
