UC Information Security Council (ISC)

The University of California Information Security Council (ISC) is the university-wide collective of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and is chartered by the UC Chief Information Officer (CIO) Council.

The primary responsibility of the Information Security Council is to serve as a consulting and advisory body on cybersecurity initiatives to the Systemwide CISO, UC CIO Council, Cyber-Risk Governance Committee (CRGC), Council of Chancellors, President of the UC System, and other UC Leadership. The work of ISC supports UC's mission and drives collaborative cybersecurity initiatives that yield mutual benefits for multiple locations and the UC system as a whole.
