Abstract:

The Information Security Governance (ISG) Assessment Tool is intended to help institutions of higher education determine the degree to which they have implemented an ISG Framework at the strategic level within their institution. This Tool is not intended to provide a complete and detailed list of information security policies or practices one must follow. Rather, it is intended to help a president or institutional leadership identify general areas of concern as they relate to the ISG Framework. If one is unable to answer a particular question affirmatively, then that question indicates an area the institution needs to examine to determine what risks may be associated with that area and how the institution will address those risks.

Note: All of the content -- except the scoring columns -- has been protected in the Excel version of the ISG Assessment Tool in order to prevent anyone from inadvertently changing, moving, or deleting important information. You can remove the protection by going to the Tools menu in Excel (a password is not required).
