Network Security Policies

Network Security

In the hopes of establishing and maintaining a secure data environment, KCTCS has put together a security plan that includes a set of best practice solutions and guidelines for reference purposes. The security plan helps to serve the need for compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) and FIPS requirements.

Remote Access

KCTCS limits the communication of data across remote connections with encrypted channels and protocols set up to serve remote access securely and effectively.

Breach Procedures
