OHSU Compliance with FISMA - Information for OHSU Users

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide OHSU users with guidance for responding to inquiries regarding OHSU’s compliance with FISMA. OHSU is not a federal agency and is, therefore, not explicitly subject to FISMA. OHSU is, however, subject to other legislation that requires similar reasonable information security safeguards.

OHSU Compliance with FISMA - Information for Federal Agencies
