The P2/P3 Data Classification Task Force is working to improve the usability of the standard and update it to align with current institutional operations, policies, and applicable state and federal laws—while continuing to support UCSF Health’s core mission of caring, healing, teaching, and discovering.
UCSF’s Data Classification Standard serves as a location-specific interpretation of UC system-wide policy. It supersedes many of the requirements of the UC Institutional Information and IT Resource Classification Standard, although the system-wide standard may be referenced for guidance on the classification of data types not documented within this location-specific model.
Contact EIA Data Compliance Team with any questions about the project or the standard.
