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 departmental ICT services and systems at risk.
