Paderborn University has set up an information security team as a central point of contact for all questions relating to information security.

The information security team thus supports the data protection department in protecting personal data from misuse, thereby protecting the privacy and personal rights of those affected.

The Information Security Team at Paderborn University

• advises users from committees and departments, as well as those involved in information, communication and media technologies, on information security issues.
• develops recommendations for technical, organisational, and awareness measures, and collaborates closely with the CIO, IT operators, the data protection officer, and the university's Presidium.
• is the central point of contact for information security incidents and supports the relevant bodies in their efforts to coordinate and limit damage to the university.

You can contact the information security team at the following email address: informationssicherheit[at]uni-paderborn[dot]de.

Data protection gives rise to legal requirements for information security. For example, the university must report "breaches of personal data protection" to the supervisory authority within 72 hours. To this end, all information security incidents within the university must be reported as soon as they become known.

The university-wide information security guideline concisely defines the fundamental objectives, responsibilities, and measures necessary to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all relevant UPB information. It establishes basic information security requirements.
