UVa's SSN Initiative
The University is undertaking a comprehensive initiative to phase out systematically its use of Social Security numbers (SSNs), wherever possible. Although SSNs must be collected for selected business functions, such as meeting Federal requirements to produce W-2 tax forms and financial aid reporting, the University will be altering other business functions to use University ID numbers in place of SSNs wherever possible. By July 2008, departments will need to identify all records and records systems within their purview that use SSNs and develop a remediation plan, which, following approval, must be implemented by July 2009. For more details, visit the SSN Initiative website.
Protection of Highly Sensitive Data
The University has issued a new highly sensitive data policy, strictly limiting the circumstances under which sensitive data may be stored on individual-use electronic devices and media, and mandating that strict security requirements be met when such storage is unavoidable. It is the responsibility of individuals to determine if they have highly sensitive data on their device(s) and media and, if so, to ensure compliance with this policy.
