Where to store your data
If you’reÌýobtaining data under licence or contractÌý(usually via aÌýdata-sharing agreement) it’s likely there will be specific requirements for where this data can be stored. In most cases, the °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Data Safe Haven will meet these requirements.
ForÌýdata not obtained under licence, other °×С½ãÂÛ̳ systems can be used, though you’ll need to determine whether these meet your project’s requirements for confidentiality, integrity and availability.
Be aware that data sharing agreements often include a requirement for secure data destruction.ÌýYou should check that the system you plan to use will be able to meet this requirement.
The Information Governance (IG) Advisory Service can help you decide which system is suitable for your data. For advice, contact them at:Ìýinfogov@ucl.ac.uk
