Cybersecurity

Cyber security requirements are included in solicitations for proposals and award agreements. For example, there are minimum federal requirements for safeguarding information systems (Federal Acquisition Regulation; Basic Safeguarding FAR 52.204-21).

Systems containing more sensitive information such as personally identifiable information, require more than the basic level of protection. Northwestern does not conduct or accept classified research or controlled unclassified information (CUI).

Contact NUIT for assistance early in the process.
