Data Security in UO Collaboration Tools

Overview

"Where can I store my data?" is a common question asked by researchers, faculty and students. To answer that question, we've created the the table below that shows where data of different sensitivity levels can be stored.

UO's Information Asset Classification & Management Policy is available in the UO Policy Library.
