Security Statement

The SPD Information Technology area and the State of Alabama ISD have taken several steps to safeguard the integrity of its telecommunications and computing infrastructure, including but not limited to authentication, auditing, and encryption. Security measures have been integrated into the design, implementation, and day-to-day practices of the entire web-operating environment. One of the key features is the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 128-bit encryption for transmission of confidential information.

SPD has committed to ensuring citizens and affiliates that their personal information will not be shared, sold, or transferred to any third party without their prior consent, or unless it is required by law. Sensitive information used in transactions, such as social security numbers and other personal data, will not be disclosed unless the information is determined to be a “public record” as defined by Alabama Law or is released pursuant to a lawful court order or subpoena.

Examination Security Policy

Except for pretest information provided by State Personnel to all applicants, you should not directly or indirectly obtain information about examinations. If you do, the State Personnel Director may do several things. One, you may not be given an examination. Two, you may be disqualified after an examination. Three, your name may be removed from a register. Or four, your name may not be certified from the register. (Rules of the State Personnel Board, Chapter 670-X-9.) According to the Code of Alabama, 36-26-47, a willful violation of exam security is a misdemeanor. Any person who is convicted of this type of misdemeanor will not get a State job for a period of five years. If they are officers or employees of the state, they will be required to forfeit their office or position for five years.

If you know of anyone who has violated this policy, you should email the Examination Manager at the State Personnel Department.
