Information Governance

What we do

The Information Management & Compliance team at Imperial College London ensures that the University processes information legally, securely, and efficiently. This framework includes policies and procedures for data protection, information security, and records management. The goal is to safeguard the integrity and confidentiality of information while ensuring its availability for academic and administrative purposes. Robust information governance supports the University's mission by maintaining high standards of accuracy and accountability in handling data.

The Freedom of Information (FOI) function allows the public to access to information held by the University. This promotes transparency and accountability by making information accessible to the public.

Subject Access Requests (SAR) enable individuals to access their personal data held by the University. This process ensures that individuals can verify the accuracy of their data and request corrections if necessary.

The Data Protection Officer (DPO) at Imperial oversees compliance with data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The DPO ensures that personal data is handled in accordance with legal requirements and investigates any complaints related to data handling. This role is crucial for protecting individuals' privacy rights and ensuring that the university's data practices are transparent and compliant with regulation.
