The ITS IT Policy team has been working on revisions and updates to a number of IT policies and standards in order to ensure they remain credible, implementable, and enforceable over time. Some recent highlights include:
- Revising the university policy on Institutional Data Resource Management (SPG 601.12): the long-standing policy will reflect updates to technology and the U-M Data Governance Framework. An executive summary is available for review (U-M login required).
- Streamlining the university policy on Domain Naming (SPG 601.15): merged the outdated policies on IT Addressing (SPG 601.15) and Domain Naming (SPG 601.15-1) into one. The policy is accompanied by guidance on requesting domain names (U-M login required).
- Updating the IT Standard on Security Log Collection, Analysis, and Retention (DS-19): requirements for security log collection and retention are being revised and clarified. A summary of changes is available for review (U-M login required).
