This page is now outdated. Please see http://www.shef.ac.uk/cics/codeofpractice for the current IT Code of Practice.

Every department should

a) maintain a complete register of equipment including memory and hard disk capacities, and of all software installed on machines in that department.

b) keep all software licences securely locked in a departmental office.

c) log and report to CiCS all security incidents or suspected incidents and ensure they are investigated.


Appropriate information should also be provided to insurers to ensure that they are aware of any changes in the risk covered.
