Information about the additional access controls and handling requirements for derived grade applications

Derived grade applications are of a sensitive nature and may contain personal and confidential information including medical and police in-confidence, they require additional access controls and handling requirements.

Access to the derived grade application is restricted only to those people who have authorisation to handle these in Ðǿմ«Ã½â€™s high security area.

Security requirements for users

Users who access the derived grade applications must:

  • take all reasonable steps to prevent the misuse of or unauthorised access to their computer system or derived grade application material

  • not use publicly shared computers such as those located in internet cafes
  • not reveal or share ESL user name or passwords to any other person
  • not write ESL passwords on sticky notes, desk pads, etc or stored in a file on their computer.

A legitimate ESL or Ðǿմ«Ã½ Administrator will never ask for a user’s password.

User access to derived grades is to be removed when no longer required/their role is finished.

User violation

The ESL (Education Sector Login) and Ðǿմ«Ã½ Administrators reserve the right to monitor IT resources, including individual login sessions particularly where there are reasonable grounds to suspect a user is abusing their ESL login or Ðǿմ«Ã½ derived grade application resources.
