Data Inventory

To comply with the State of Maryland’s Higher Education Data Privacy Act, USM Cyber Security Standards, and NIST Cyber Security guidelines, UMD must maintain a centralized comprehensive inventory of all “Systems of Record” that store information about living human beings. In order to meet this requirement, we are working with IT staff, business officers, and others across campus to gather details about UMD Systems of Record.
