IT Contract Review

The SPC IT Contract Team is a specialty group within the SPC Contract Team that provides contract review for all IT contracts at Brown for administrative, academic, and research purposes.

BCM IT Contracts logoBCM IT Contract review includes ancillary review from the OIT Information Security Group (ISG) and the Finance Division to assess security risk levels if Brown data is involved.

Based on the risk level, the SPC IT Contract Team will work with the ISG to conduct a detailed Data Security Review, collect accessibility information, ensure compliance with Export Controls, review insurance language, ensure PCI compliance, and provide appropriate privacy controls. 

You can learn more about Brown's data security levels at the IT contract and security review process page.
