Trustworthy information and systems

Monash information is relevant, accurate and timely.

Information provided by Monash University should be, and be perceived to be, trustworthy (that is, relevant, accurate and timely) to the maximum extent possible.

Where the information is sourced from outside Monash University (as with, for example, library holdings), all reasonable care should be taken to ensure its trustworthiness.

Any activity that creates, modifies or transmits critical university information should be trustworthy. This means that it should be:

  • logged (to ensure an audit trail)
  • non-repudiable (to ensure that the creator/changer can not later deny their action, and that there is proof that the action took place).
