This policy applies to all Mississippi executive and judicial branch agencies and educational institutions (hereafter referred to collectively as "agencies"), as provided by law, that operate, manage, or use IT services or equipment to support critical state business and educational functions. Where conflicts exist between this policy and an agency's policy, the more restrictive policy will take precedence. This policy encompasses systems, automated and manual for which the agencies have administrative responsibility, including systems managed or hosted by third parties on behalf of the agencies. It addresses information, regardless of the form or format, which is created or used in support of business activities for the agencies. This policy applies to all users of agency information technology resources, including all agency employees, sub-contractors, temporary workers, and vendors.
