Why does Identity Finder report to the IT Security Office?

The IT Security Office works with you to protect private information and to investigate potential breaches in the event that your computer is compromised or stolen. For instance, if your laptop is stolen along with your proof (the Identity Finder reports) ensuring all private data is secure, the IT Security Office would be able to look at the log file and attest that no private information was compromised.

The IT Security Office aggregates Identity Finder logs to help campus and departmental leadership understand how many systems maintain private data within their area. The IT Security Office will also use Identity Finder logs when working with departments to ensure that web Internet-accessible servers do not store private information.
