Data Protection Risk Assessment
A Data Protection Risk Assessment (DPRA) is a process involving the Service Delivery and Quality group, the Information Security group, and the Privacy Office that is used to determine the level of risk to security and privacy of data associated with the purchase and use of an IT system or service.

Investigations & Support
ITS Security is available to help members of the university community in the event of a suspected breach, loss or theft of data, or any other information security related incident.

Multi-factor Authentication
Duo is the university’s multi-factor authentication (MFA) mechanism that protects your MyCarletonOne (MC1) account from illicit login attempts. When Duo is enabled, logging onto many university services requires that you provide something you know (your MC1 username and password), and something you have (your phone or tablet configured with the Duo app).
Security Awareness & Training
The ITS Security team is actively involved in the development of a security awareness and training program for faculty and staff. Watch your inbox for new awareness initiatives coming soon to Brightspace!
Security Guidance & Recommendations
The ITS Security team is always available to offer support and guidance to all faculties, departments, or any other active member of the university community.
Contact the ITS Service Desk to request assistance.
Threat Intelligence
The security team works with a number of external partners to receive intelligence on emerging threats to the university network. Relevant information is shared with appropriate individuals on campus to help mitigate threats.
Vulnerability Scanning
ITS Security employs scanning tools to identify vulnerabilities across the campus network. We communicate findings and work with service owners and administrators to suggest solutions and mitigations.
