We use box at Lancaster and have a strong contract in place with them. However, we donšt advertise as a solution for research data storage (some researchers may use it for that purpose), and with especially sensitive data, we still recommend to use local infrastructure for various reasons. Box does automatic encryption on deposit, however, in some cases, some of our academics have done AES256 encryption before they deposit their files on box. Some introductory information is available here: http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/iss/news/2015/introducing-box/ Thanks, Masud On 31/07/2015 09:21, "Aslam Ghumra (IT Services, Facilities Management)" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >We currently advise that data which is sensitive should not be put onto >any form of 'cloud services', but if there is a real need to share and >they cannot do so any other practical way, then then to encrypt it before >it is added.
