Cybersecurity and Online Habits training available for you to take as part of the Human Resources compliance training program. Both the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the NIST 800-171 require SPU to have a mandatory cybersecurity training that is used in employee onboarding and repeated annually. Training is also strongly recommended by SPUs cybersecurity insurance provider. This applies to all faculty, staff, student employees, and any volunteer or stipend position, particularly those with data systems access.
