Welcome to the Medical College of Georgia Identity
Protection Initiative project web site. We hope you will take time to
carefully explore all of the links to learn as much as possible about protecting
personal information for yourself and others on campus.
It started with a simple question: What is being
done to protect the Social Security numbers used as personal identifiers for MCG
faculty, staff and students?
The search for an answer raised even more questions and
led to the formation of a task force "to make recommendations to the President
of the Medical College of Georgia regarding institutional use of personal
information, security of university computer systems containing personal
information, and possible use of an institutionally generated unique identifier
for all MCG constituents."
Phase I
was completed last September when 11 security - enhancing recommendations were
presented to the President's Cabinet. Phase II - solutions implementation
- is now underway.
