Policy 4 - Information Service and Service Contractors Policy
Summary
The University works with a range of external Service Providers and Contractors to support its business needs. This ranges from hosted systems, software support through to remote monitoring services. As part of this, third party organisations are likely to require remote or physical access to University Information Systems.
Remote access to IT resources on the Loughborough University network is provided via our VPN and MFA services. Users will be required to install and use the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client (or another compatible client) and the Duo MFA client on a compatible device. Access to the Cisco AnyConnect installer can be provided if required.
This Policy ensures the integrity and security of University Information Systems and sets out clear conditions for providing third party organisations access.
