Storage Guide (Employees)

Overview of various options and how to use them.

When it comes to private equipment such as PC / MAC, memory stick / external hard drive and private cloud services, you are responsible for the security of storage here yourself.
USN's internal storage consists mainly of disk letters you get connected to at logon (L :, M :, O :, P :, V :), but also by some internal web systems.
Storage with external partners / suppliers is typically www.usn.no, min.usn.no, Canvas, P360, Figshare, Nettskjema, UiO TSD, and more.
Cloud storage is mainly related to Office365-services such as email, OneDrive, Teams and some new services to come.

Merknader

  1. Red data can be stored on a laptop with a fully encrypted disk, encrypted memory stick or encrypted external hard drive. It must be ensured that encryption always meets the requirements.
    The memory stick is not suitable for long-term storage. It can easily be destroyed, forgotten / lost, stolen. It’s only suitable for temporary storage.
    An external hard drive is more solid, but it can still be forgotten / lost or stolen.
  2. It is generally not recommended to store documents on a local disk on your workstation.
  3. The UiO Nettskjema has support for collecting information and transferring directly to TSD, which is approved for storing red and black data.
  4. Information to be shared with colleagues should be placed in a common space, not your home folder.
  5. Yellow space on V: contains data for organizational unit and projects.
  6. For data classified as Strictly Confidential and research data in general: http://bibliotek.usn.no/forskerstotte/forskningsdata/
  7. Does not apply to synchronization to private devices (PC, tablet, mobile, private cloud service).
  8. How to send encrypted email.
  9. You only have access to L: and P: if you are part of a project group and are applying for a project area.
