Agency Privacy and Security Procedures. All agencies must comply with the current HMIS Privacy, Confidentiality, and Security standards issued in the HUD Notice on 7/31/2004. These standards require, but are not limited to: installing virus protection software, with an automatic update on every computer that accesses HMIS; activating a locking screen saver on every computer that accesses HMIS; developing a data privacy policy and notice; posting the agency’s privacy notice on its premises and website (if one exists); installing an individual or network firewall; and posting “purpose for data collection” signs at each intake desk. Information on how to develop a privacy policy can be found at: ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇/housing/specialneeds/programs/downloads/HUDPrivacyPolicyRequirements.pdf For information about how to implement the security procedures required by HUD, please contact your Continuum of Care Representative.
