Protect university systems, data, and resources by addressing identified risks to the integrity of systems and applications.

Minimize the overall risk of using Service Accounts, which generally have greater access to IT systems and resources and may pose a higher risk to the University.

The purpose of this document is to establish a clear process for transitioning applications developed by campus units to OIT when the originating team can no longer provide support, or when the originating team is transitioning to OIT. This ensures that applications critical to university operations continue to be supported, maintained, replaced or transitioned appropriately. (Note that in some cases a unit may request support that OIT is unable to provide. If this happens the requesting unit will be given an evaluation of the health of the application, and recommendations for next steps.)

This addendum adds to the IT Standards for Workstations. Its purpose is to ensure university-owned workstations deployed to Office of Information Technology (OIT) employees use actively patched and supported operating systems and software, are patched monthly, and run required endpoint protection software.
