Not sure if this applies to you? Below are some questions to help determine if your computer, tablet, smart phone, flash drive, server or device should be encrypted:

• Does the device contain sensitive information that falls under regulations such as, but not limited to, HIPAA, FERPA, and/or PCI-DSS?
• Does my research grant contract state that all research data gathered for the project or for a 3rd party must be encrypted?
• Does my device contain sensitive data such as employee personal or University proprietary information that if compromised would cause the University or employees harm?
• Do I receive and store emails, texts, or audio-visual content containing sensitive information to my smart phone or tablet computer?

The University of Louisville has a solution when it comes to protecting sensitive data! The University provides an encryption solution to ensure the protection of sensitive University data and it is available for FREE from the iTechXpress store. For additional information on the University’s encryption solution please visit the IT website at: /it/departments/enterprise-security/information/pgp-encryption-information.

Encryption solutions and installations may vary depending on the operating system, device, and user preference. For help on what encryption option would work best for you, please contact your Tier I, the IT Helpdesk or the Information Security Office at isopol@louisville.edu .
