Mobile Device Security for Researchers
Mobile devices like laptops and USB flash drives are convenient ways to capture and store data. Putting a plan into place for securing your data will help you:
- keep your research data out of the wrong hands in the case of loss or theft.
- protect sensitive information about your research subjects.
- put proper security controls into place if you are applying for research grant money.
- put proper security controls into place for the IRB approval process.
- protect yourself and the University from liability regarding regulations that cover certain types of research data.
- comply with non-disclosure agreements and access restrictions.
