Approved Tools
Cloud Storage: Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are all cloud services approved for RHI data storage.
If you wish to use a cloud service not listed above, it must undergo a risk assessment before being implemented.
OTDI maintains a Cloud Services Registry with detailed information on using AWS and Microsoft Azure applications and the level of data they are approved for.
OTDI also maintains a Cloud Assessment Registry for all third-party cloud services that have gone through the university risk assessment.
Equipment/Non-Cloud Storage: Your unit’s IT staff must be consulted to ensure any equipment or non-cloud storage is available and configured to S4 standards before being used for the research project.
University Resources for Securing Research
Research Commons Consultation: University Libraries has a Research Commons Consultation page, where faculty conducting research may get in touch to schedule a consultation. Libraries coordinates consultations both with their own specialists (data management, data visibility, GIS, etc.), and with campus partners (IRB, OSC, AWS, etc.).
