About Us

The Office of Campus Information Security (OCIS) was created in 2006 in recognition of the critical and complex nature of information security on the UW-Madison campus. The Office reports directly to the CIO and Vice Provost for Information Technology.

OCIS works with campus data custodians and end users to minimize security risks and put programs in place to properly protect their data. OCIS also responds to reported security breaches and provides a variety of software tools, training, support and best practices to help the hundreds of different computing environments on campus (i.e., departments, schools, business units, end user desktops) and their users stay secure.
