Security Policies, Standards, and Procedures

Georgia Tech maintains a set of Institute-Level policies, standards, and procedures that are intended to provide guidance on what resources should be secured, how they should be secured, and why they should be secured. The purpose of the Georgia Tech polices, standards, and procedures is not to inhibit the primary missions of the Institute, but rather to protect resources, users, and administrators alike.

Institute Level Policies These policies are to be applied at the Institute Level and may not be superceded by Unit-Level or lower policies. Units may draft Unit-Level policies to supplement the Institute Level policies.
Unit Level Policies These policies are applied by the Units drafting them.
Issue-Specific Policies These policies are meant to address specific IT or Security issues at an Institute Level.
Standards The standards provide guidance on how to implement the Institute-Level and Issue-Specific policies.
Procedures These documents address certain processes that should be followed by the Institute. The procedures also provide guidance on how to implement processes discussed in the policies.
Guidelines Guidelines are recommended, but not required, suggestions with regards to certain technologies and services.
Supporting Programs/Regulations This section contains the supporting industry and government programs and regulations that Georgia Tech is required to adhere to.
Risk Assessments and Exceptions Contains the process and contact information for requesting an assessment and exception to Georgia Tech security policies. This process should be used if there is a legitimate business or research reason not to follow Institute Policies and Standards.
