About PrivSec
Protecting information is more than just keeping computers online and hackers out. It means systems that prioritize data safety, thoughtful consideration of the information we collect, and careful stewardship of its use.
Our mission is to protect Harvard's information assets and bolster the university's trustworthiness as a steward of personal data.
