Detailed Information

University protected data is classified in accordance with the Data Classification APL (APL VI-I).  Based on regulatory guidance, the Information Security Standards (under the Board Policy), specify required controls on systems based on classifications.  Supplementing regulatory requirements, local directives inform our decisions to include Credit/Debit Card Standards APL (APL IV-F), the HIPAA Policy, and the FERPA Procedure APL (APL X-F) Following University Purchasing Procedures APL (APL VII-A), vendor assessments are conducted on third-party cloud-based systems which inform the type and classification of data that can be stored on respective vendors systems. In keeping with the Employee Protection of Data APL (APL VI-C), the following charts can be used to determine what systems can be used for storing various data types.
