Are you familiar with the University’s Data Security Classifications Policy?
University employees often have access to sensitive information. University IT stresses the importance of familiarizing yourself with the Data Security Classifications Policy and where data can be stored. Understanding the difference between high-, moderate-, and low-risk information is crucial to ensure you responsibly handle confidential data and prevent security breaches or HIPAA violations. If you have a question on data classifications, contact your sector’s information security officer: Mark Baker for research and education, Jim Purvis for clinical and administrative, or the Office of Counsel.
