Information Security Training

Features

Information Security Training is mandated by the State of Texas and is required to be completed at hire and annually thereafter by all employees and contractors that use a computer for 25% or more of their responsibilities.

Training is composed of two parts: one certified training module and the TWU Data Use Agreement. Both parts must be completed in sequence to receive credit for annual training. Required individuals are automatically enrolled in Information Security Training based on their training due date.
