Information Security Access Agreement
As a user of the State's central computer systems, which are operated by the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) I understand and agree to abide by the following terms which govern my access to and use of the processing services of VITA:
Access has been granted to me by VITA as necessary privilege in order to perform authorized job functions for the agency by which I am currently employed. I am prohibited from using or knowingly permitting use of any assigned or entrusted access control mechanisms (such as log-in Ids, passwords, terminal Ids, user Ids, file protection keys or production read/write keys) for any purpose other than those required to perform my authorized employment functions:
If, due to my authorized job functions, I require access to information on VITA's computer systems which is not owned by my agency, I must obtain authorized access to that information from the owning agency and present it to VITA;
I will not disclose information concerning any access control mechanism of which I have knowledge unless properly authorized to do so by my employing agency, and I will not use any access mechanism which has not been expressly assigned to me;
I agree to abide by all applicable Commonwealth of Virginia, VITA, and employing agency policies, procedures and standards which related to the security of VITA computer systems and the data contained therein;
If I observe any incidents of non-compliance with the terms of this agreement, I am responsible for reporting them to the information security officer and management of my employing agency as well as the VITA Office of Security;
By signing this agreement, I hereby certify that I understand the preceding terms and provisions and that I accept the responsibility of adhering to the same. I further acknowledge that any infractions of this agreement will result in disciplinary action, including but not limited to the termination of my access privileges.
