A security consultation is a discussion between your team and Pitt IT Security with the goal of helping your team understand the risks of processing, storing, and transmitting University data.
The goal of the risk assessment is to identify the security controls that adequately protect your data. Based on the risk profile of the project, Pitt IT Security will recommend appropriate data-protection controls, which may address access, configuration, auditing, training, communications protection, media protection, and information integrity.
