5. Confidential data access ACCU MeetingIT Service Review Meeting5 IT has been asked to clarify who can have access to confidential information, such as: Explicitly protected folders in DFS Mail contents In general service managers of computing services within limits fixed by OC5. I.e. AFS managers have access to AFS data Mail service managers have access to mail data DFS service managers have access to DFS data Backup service manager have access to backup tapes System Administrators have access to the physical machines … In particular cases, Service Desk contract staff, who are bound by contract confidentiality clauses. Their access is temporary and is logged.

6. “Functions, allowing access to confidential and/or sensitive information, implies strict conformance to the rules laid down in OC5 and in particular those governing confidentiality.” Gradually the default access policy of most IT services will be closed.
