Assessments & Compliance Program

  • MSSEI Assessment Service: risk assessments of systems that handle UC P3 and UC P4 data against UC Berkeley’s Minimum Security Standards for Electronic Information (MSSEI)

  • Application Security Testing Program (ASTP): penetration testing for Campus applications handling UC P4 data

  • Vendor Security Assessment Program (VSAP): evaluations of third-party service providers and suppliers that handle UC P3 and UC P4 data on behalf of the University

  • InfoSec Consulting: guidance on meeting Campus security requirements, policy and guideline development, and security architecture
