Cyber assurance input for contracts
Information security is important in all university contracts. Cyber assurances help make sure suppliers and partners follow good cyber security practices throughout the contract.
Where data is processed and stored matters
We can provide advice to ensure your data is as secure as possible and guide you through your requirements in relation to any information security questions within your contract(s).
To ensure that we have enough time to go through the contract, we ask that your request is submitted at least six weeks before your deadline.
