Overview
Berkeley's Minimum Security Standards for Electronic Information (MSSEI) are security controls that systems must meet in order to handle campus data.
The Information Security Office (ISO) offers an assessment service using the MSSEI to identify technical and procedural weaknesses in campus applications that store, process, or transmit Protection Level 2 (PL2) and Protection Level 3 (PL3) data.
The MSSEI assessment service is designed to reduce risk to campus by assessing PL2 and above systems against minimum security standards. System and service operators benefit by being able to assure customers (campus) that they are meeting minimum security standards and protecting customer data.
