The Information Privacy and Security (IPAS) project is a University-wide mission to enhance the data security practices at Penn State.

The primary project goal is to assure the privacy of critical information and to comply with internal policies and external regulations affecting Penn State.

There are two phases to the IPAS Project:

Phase I focuses on the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance initiative.

Phase II focuses on security and privacy initiatives for all of Penn State’s institutional Information.

The Information Privacy and Security (IPAS) Project is sponsored by the Office of Security Operations and Services, a unit of ITS, and the Privacy Office, a unit of the Corporate Controller Office.
