UCSF IT Technology

UCSF is required by a number of policies, laws, and regulations to assess the security risk of information systems that handle UCSF data. The IT security risk assessment process collects information about each of our information systems and scores their security compliance. The process measures the security aspects of all computing devices associated with the system including servers, desktop computers and laptops, mobile devices, network hardware, and other related technologies.
