91ÒùĸÊÓƵ Compliance + Security
On this page:
Security considerations for research environments are not optional and must go through IST/CISO for review and implementation. Other providers, both on-campus and third-party, are not to be used without involving IST/CISO. IST support and consultations will be provided in multiple areas, including firewalls, VPN, threat detection and prevention, vulnerability management and anti-malware.
Security Considerations
Below are some links that outline the high-level services available. In many cases, a locked door, cabinet or key-carded access area does not meet the institution’s security requirements. Multiple physical, logical and virtual security controls must be present. Please contact ciso@ualberta.ca for additional information.

Sensitive Data + Data Security
Data of all kinds needs to be protected. The number one guideline for data security is to think about the data itself. How sensitive is it and how can you best protect it? Take the approach of protecting it based on the level of sensitivity in the data itself. The following guidelines can help you assess this. You can also enter a ticket for a consultation from IST. The U of A Library can work with you on a data management plan.
Institutional Data Management and Governance Procedure (UAPPOL) will help you understand what type of data you are dealing with and what policies govern that data for management, access and use.
