Information Security Office (ISO)

The Information Security Office (ISO) is dedicated to safeguarding the University’s information assets by ensuring that cybersecurity governance aligns with the latest regulatory requirements and industry best practices. Our mission is to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the University’s information, fostering a secure and resilient digital environment for students, faculty, and staff.

Key responsibilities of the ISO

The ISO plays a critical role in managing and mitigating cybersecurity risks across the University. Our core functions include:

Policy Development & Implementation – Establishing and enforcing security policies to protect institutional data.
Incident Response & Decision-Making – Rapidly addressing security breaches to minimize impact.
Information Security Risk Management – Identifying and mitigating potential threats to the University’s digital infrastructure.
Training & Awareness – Educating the University community on the best cybersecurity practices.
Compliance & Auditing – Ensuring adherence to regulatory standards and security frameworks.
Monitoring & Reporting – Continuously evaluating security measures and reporting on risks and improvements.

Leadership & Governance

The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) oversees the University’s cybersecurity strategy, ensuring robust protection against evolving threats. Reporting directly to the Rector, the CISO provides an essential second line of defense, as recommended by leading security frameworks.

Collaboration is key to our success. The ISO works closely with internal stakeholders, including the Service Informatique de l’Université (SIU) and the Data Protection Office, to coordinate security initiatives and uphold the University’s cybersecurity posture.
