IPO helps keep data secure

The 673d Air Base Wing Information Protection Office serves to integrate, maintain and improve Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson’s U.S. Air Force collective policies, processes and implementation of risk management and mitigation actions to prevent the loss, unauthorized access/disclosure, and distortion or non-accessibility of information. The IPO core functions include Personnel, Information and Industrial security while providing security oversight over all aspects of information and serving installation leadership and tenants on all related security issues. The IPO’s goal is to protect information, regardless of physical form or characteristics, over its life cycle; this includes actions to regulate access to sensitive information and controlled unclassified information and classified information produced by, entrusted to or under the control of the United States Government.
