In the past, the University Information Policy Office (UIPO) has provided hard-copies of the “Protecting Red Hot Data” (“flippy book“) containing a practical guide to how to appropriately collect, store, transmit and dispose of critical data. UIPO has recently updated and reformatted the flippy book into a new pocket-sized reference guide.
The following groups will be sent a copy of the new Critical Data Guide pocket edition: UITS full-time staff (in the CIB, ICTC, and on the regional campuses), all IT Pros, all Data Managers and Data Stewards.
