This website is designed for everyone in our campus community — undergraduates, graduate and professional students, postdoctoral appointees, staff, faculty and other academic appointees, visiting scholars, visitors to campus, volunteers, and anyone else who has a connection to UC Berkeley.

The Berkeley IT Information Security Office (ISO), working with a cross-campus group of IT professionals, has developed a proposed revision to the campus Minimum Security Standards for Electronic Information (MSSEI). The MSSEI defines minimum security standards for all UC Berkeley institutional information and IT resources. This update, the first substantive update since 2012, incorporates elements from UC’s systemwide Electronic Information Security Policy, IS-3, and brings the standards into alignment with current industry best practices.

bIT Colleagues,
As we kick off Staff Appreciation Week, I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your continued resilience and hard work in diving into another academic year. As you juggle your work life along with the many life occurrences and demands in your personal lives, you all deserve recognition and a huge THANK YOU!
Colleagues,
Resilient, rising, and reinspired was the theme for this year’s UC Tech conference which brought over 1,000 technologists from across the UC system together both on the Berkeley campus and virtually. I think the theme also describes how the last year has played out and how we have approached our campus IT priorities: remaining resilient and making good progress on key initiatives while rising to meet some unexpected challenges.
