Overview

Securing your research and any associated information is important to the success of your work and to ensure you meet contractual and regulatory requirements. This includes the following key concepts:

• Ensuring the confidentiality of the data you use and preventing others from accessing your research until you decide it is time to make the results public,
• Reducing the chances of unauthorized people or processes from causing alterations that call into question the integrity of your data or research processes, and
• Protecting devices and processes to ensure they are available to be used when you need them and enable you to conduct your research where and when you need it.

As you plan on how to protect your research and information, the followings that should be considered as you design your work to include the right processes and security controls:

• What data will you be receiving from other sources?
• Do you know the requirements and/or regulations involved with protecting the data you receive or will be producing?
• What technologies, cloud services, and software will you use during the lifecycle of your research?
• Will you be collaborating with people outside of the UNM's community?
• Is any of your work of interest for others to steal and use?
• Will you be developing anything that might lead to any patents?
