Information security is a collective, shared responsibility and each of us plays a critical role in following best practices, including protecting College data. It is important that you understand the type of data that you are storing and store them in the appropriate locations. LTS has developed a simple guide that outlines where different kinds of data can be stored. See the Wellesley College Data Storage Guide for more information.
In addition to proper storage of sensitive data, there are a number of additional steps you must take to protect this data, that are outlined below:
- Protecting Confidential Information
- Backing Up
- Working from Home
- Protecting your password (see Wellesley College Password Guidelines)
