This chapter of the Information Security Guide will serve as a clearinghouse for sharing higher education privacy materials. While privacy is a discipline distinct from information security, sharing privacy information in this resource is appropriate given the many collaborations necessary between higher education information security and privacy programs to ensure the comprehensive protection of institutional data.

The initial process in developing an institutional privacy program is to understand the institution's approach to privacy, understand the different types of data used at the institution, and identify which laws and regulations are applicable to the institution's use of data. You will also want to get to know your stakeholders and other institutional privacy supporters.
