IT Policies Under Review

The Policy on the Management of Campus-wide Policies provides the framework that guides the IT Policy Program's operation, including policy writing, revision, and rescission. We collaborate closely with the UC Berkeley Campus Policy Office and the Systemwide University Policy Office to align our practices and processes.

Campus Committees Involved in IT Policymaking


The Compliance and Enterprise Risk Committee (CERC) formally ratifies all campus policy, and it looks to its subcommittees to provide it guidance: the CERC Policy Subcommittee and the Information Risk Governance Committee (IRGC). 

CERC Policy Subcommittee

This subcommittee makes recommendations to CERC regarding the approval of new and revised campus-wide policies.

IRGC

This subcommittee provides governance for policies and standards involving information risk.
