Unit security checklists are sent via email to Security Unit Liaisons (SULs) and IT directors periodically. They are intended to support units in their shared responsibility to protect U-M systems and data.
Use the checklists to help you make incremental improvements to U-M’s and your unit's security posture, track your efforts, focus on key topics, and keep IT security in mind. The checklists are for your use only and do not need to be turned in to ITS Information Assurance (IA).
