Report Damage, Loss, Theft, and Security Breaches

Your device get stolen? Don't let your information be leaked to the public or to the individual. We recommend doing the following steps: 

  1. Immediately report the loss or theft of a device containing university information, especially if that information is classified as confidential, personal, and/or proprietary. All State owned equipment that is lost or stolen must also be report to University Police at 323-343-3700.
  2. Immediately complete the Lost/Stolen Computer or Electronic Storage Device Report through ServiceNow ticketing system.
  3. If a lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised device contains unencrypted confidential information, the responsibility for notifying victims under SB 1386 resides with the department or division where the security breach occurred. See User Guidelines for Reporting a Lost or Stolen Computer or Electronic Storage Device.
