Article Summary:
This article outlines the process to agree with the Confidentiality Agreement required on a yearly basis.
Resolution:
What is the confidentiality Agreement for?
The California State University (CSU) system requires all employees with access to confidential information in My Fresno State, PeopleSoft or any other computerized information system to sign and consent to the Confidentiality Agreement. By selecting to “agree" the employee is acknowledging that they understand their responsibility and role in protecting confidential data.
Why is the update required if users already agreed before?
The CSU has responsibility to protect confidential data and maintain confidentiality of that data under the Information Practices Act (IPA) of 1977 and Title 5, California Code of Regulations. Each year, per the CSU mandate, all employees with access to confidential information are required to recertify their understanding of security and confidentiality of data.
There are 3- different instances when users will be asked to either accept or update the agreement:
The first instance is for new employees who require access to confidential data as a part of their normal job.
Second, when an employee’s administrative access to confidential information changes
And third, every year after the start of the Spring semester, all employees with access to confidential information must recertify the Confidentiality Agreement.
Who will be receiving Daily emails?
All the PeopleSoft users who have not agreed to the confidentiality Agreement.
Who will be receiving Annual emails?
All the PeopleSoft users who have completed a year after their last confidentiality Agreement.
