The Sheriff’s Department shares information and operates systems that support both Department members and numerous other agencies. Accordingly, Data Systems Bureau is responsible for establishing security standards for the Department that meet Department, County, State, and Federal requirements. Security standards affect users, hardware, software, and configurations.
All authorized persons are required to meet the security standards, except as specifically exempted by Data Systems Bureau. Specific information regarding current standards, including needed security software and/or configurations, may be found on the Data Systems Bureau’s Policy/Standards/Guides web page or by contacting the Central Help Desk.
