</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-why field-type-text-long field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Why: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>It is important that the School can be confident that all the requirements (both legal and as imposed by funding bodies) for the correct securing, retention and eventual disposal of secure data are being met. Not doing so opens the School up to both the threat of legal proceeding and the potential loss of research funding. This is not an easy task and has traditionally been overlooked or ignored as a consequence but it is becoming increasingly clear that this is an issue the School must address in a timely fashion.</p>

</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-how field-type-text-long field-label-above"><div class="field-label">How: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>An important first step is to determine what sensitive data the School possesses. This information should be generated by the <a href="http://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/show/290">Research Data Audit project and the sensitive data audit currently under way. The </a><a href="http://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/show/194">Archiving Project</a> shoudl provide details of such things as mandated retention periods and access criteria. With this information to hand, decisions can be taken as to how the School can improve its handling of sensitive data, acting in consultation with the University units such as Registry and the library.</p>

Risks: The Risks are all concerned with not doing this project. Failing to address this issue will leave the School open to legal action and loss of research funding</p>
