ICT Security Policy

The purpose of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development's (DEECD) Information & Communications Technology (ICT) Security policy is to increase understanding of security requirements when using DEECD computer facilities and services.

Information and Computer networks are intrinsically vulnerable to a spectrum of unprecedented threats.

Adherence to this policy shall increase levels of:

  • Confidentiality - protecting sensitive information from unauthorised disclosure or intelligible interception
  • Integrity - safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information and computer software
  • Availability - ensuring that information and vital services are available to users when required.

Non-compliance of the ICT Security policy may put the confidentiality, integrity and availability of DEECD ICT services and systems at risk.

All DEECD personnel should be aware of the Department’s ICT Security policy and their obligations. The complete ICT Security policy may be viewed online at http://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/intranet/policies/ictsecurity (secure site - requires login & password).
