Harvard & HBS IT Policies

Harvard Business School (HBS) is committed to protecting the information that is critical to teaching, research, and the University’s many varied activities, our business operation, and the communities we support, including students, faculty, staff members, and the public. These protections may be governed by legal, contractual, or University policy considerations.

Everyone at Harvard has a responsibility for proper handling and protection of confidential information. These policies apply to the entire Harvard community including faculty, staff, and students.
