Charge
The Information Security Advisory Committee was established pursuant to Section 9-202(F) of the Arizona Board of Regents Policy Manual to:
- review and recommend policies and standards for minimizing risks to the integrity, confidentiality and availability of information in accordance with applicable laws, policies and best practices
- provide guidance and support to the University Information Security Officer for the implementation and maintenance of the Information Security Program
The Committee recommends strategic direction on the Information Security Program to ensure that it supports the University mission, improves the overall security posture of the University and is appropriately supported, funded and implemented within the University community.
The Committee has responsibility for making recommendations to the UISO.
Composition
Membership is by appointment or application and selection by the Chief Information Officer and the UISO. With the exception of volunteer faculty members who serve academic-year terms, membership is ex officio. Members are selected from various colleges and departments to provide a depth and breadth of experience and knowledge about the University and its academic and business operations, and to offer that expertise in the institution of an effective Information Security Program. Appointed members serve renewable one-year terms. Additional members may be added.
The UISO serves as chair. The chair may appoint ad hoc working groups to deal with specific issues. The chair is responsible for scheduling, convening and conducting meetings.

Member Responsibilities
Meetings are held at least two to three times, or as needed, within the academic year. On average, a minimum commitment of 3-4 hours per meeting is expected of Committee members.
Attendance is required because of the Committee's significant University-wide responsibilities and the necessary quorum for Committee action. A member who must miss a meeting is expected to notify the Chair in advance and appoint a proxy to attend the meeting as his or her representative.
Working Groups
Some of the work of the Committee is performed by working groups that bring together technical and subject matter experts to study particular topics in depth, prepare reports and make recommendations to the larger group. The working groups are appointed ad hoc for a finite term and can be comprised of both Committee members and other members of the University community.
