Unisys Information Security and Data Policies and Procedures

Information and information systems are vital to our increasingly digital and connected world. As a global Information Technology (IT) company that specializes in providing various solutions to clients in government and commercial markets, Unisys understands the need to respect privacy and protect personal data without impeding the demands of today’s worldwide information exchange.

Dedicated to protecting critical data from threats such as theft, fraud, misuse and disaster, Unisys employs various industry standard measures to protect personal information while in use and at rest, the media where it is stored, the systems that process it, and the methods by which it is transmitted.

Data Processor Privacy Protection

Organizations that collect and process personal information are subject to various privacy laws that mandate the protection and respect for privacy rights of the individual whose personal details were collected. These organizations must vet and select entities that will process this personal information to assure that the proper security and privacy measures are in place both within the processor’s organization and any sub-processors entrusted with the organization’s data.

External threats and regulatory requirements are constantly evolving, demanding an IT partner that handles valuable client information with care, possesses a good understanding of operational needs and maintains a proactive approach to anticipating and addressing future requirements in the evolving security landscape.

Proven Expertise and Technology

For more than a century, Unisys has built a reputation for deep, reliable technical expertise to help businesses and governments protect their information assets and apply processes and technology to achieve new levels of competitiveness and success. Trusted by leading organizations around the world, Unisys delivers integrated solutions to clients with critical infrastructure upon which society depends on daily.

An important element of the design of the solutions and systems we deploy is an understanding that our clients need their information, including personal data, to be protected and properly used.

Our Privacy Practices

Our Chief Privacy Officer leads Unisys’ Global Privacy Office (GPO) with a team of certified privacy professionals. The GPO defines a framework of policies, procedures, agreements and privacy guidance documentation, including the use of a leading privacy management software. This framework is implemented across the globe to meet data privacy requirements under various applicable privacy laws.

In doing this work, the GPO is supported by data protection officers, attorneys, and functional, security and business leads embedded across the company. The aim is that our privacy program remains closely aligned with our business objectives and acts as a bridge between the GPO and their business units, allowing us to deploy function and business unit-specific approaches to data and privacy compliance.

To advance our knowledge and stay current with evolving global privacy regulations, Unisys is a member of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), the largest global information privacy community and resource.

A leading privacy management software is used across Unisys to facilitate privacy impact assessments, record data processing activities and to map data flows.

Our annual privacy training program is mandatory for all associates. It is tailored to specific business units and teams to focus on real-life application for different groups of associates.
