Purpose of Policy
This policy addresses the measures taken to safeguard the integrity of the
County of Sutter's (County) network and computing infrastructure, including
but not limited to monitoring, auditing, and encryption.
Policy Contents
The following sections of our Website Security Policy explain these uses:
- Security Measures
- Site Monitoring
A. Security Measures
Security measures have been integrated into the design, implementation, and
ongoing practices of the entire County operating environment as part of its
continuing commitment to risk management.
For sensitive information such as that requested on the Child Abuse Form,
users connect to the County website via a secure network protocol (SSL),
and user information is transmitted through secure lines (encrypted data)
to a departmental database. This database may retain, if provided, personal
information that could potentially be used to identify individual users
(e.g., e-mail address, phone number, etc.).
Any technical standards governing security are enforced by the County’s
Information Technology Department. Under no circumstance should this policy
be construed as warranting as fail-proof the absolute security of information
provided and gathered through County supported websites.
Please refer to the County’s Privacy Policy for more information regarding the collection and
safeguarding of information.
