What steps is CCSF taking to improve the security of personal information and prevent similar incidents in the future?
Since June 2002, the College stopped using social security numbers as unique identifiers for students and switched to student identification numbers. All grades issued since 2002 are connected to student identification numbers and do not involve the use of social security numbers. In recent years, CCSF has added and strengthened firewalls and intrusion detection systems, encrypted the data flows containing sensitive information, and increased vigilance in identifying threats and securing servers. In addition, access to Social Security numbers has been restricted to only those with a compelling business need, and Social Security numbers have been removed from most computer screens and printed reports.
