1.Basic Philosophy and Policy

Contributing to humanity, society, and nature through education and research is the mission of Ochanomizu University. To carry out this mission, the university retains substantial information as assets and utilizes this information on a daily basis while continuing to produce and distribute new information. A solid information infrastructure system must be established and maintained as the foundation for such activities.
Although the university's computerized information infrastructure system provides a level of convenience that is dramatically superior to previous information systems that relied on only paper and postal mail, it involves serious risks due to the dispersal of information. Each organization and organizational member at Ochanomizu University must be aware of the seriousness of these risks and take responsibility for every action they take while using the information infrastructure system.
Ochanomizu University's information security policy (hereinafter referred to as the "Policy") stipulates the operational and usage authorization within the university's information infrastructure system, thereby clarifying the responsibilities of each of the university's organizations and individual members, with the goal of establishing and maintaining an information infrastructure system that is safe and reliable.
