Data security 

The UK GDPR requires us to keep personal data secure. The Regulation states personal data must be:

Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures. [Article 5 (1) (f), UK GDPR]

The University sets out its approach to data security in its Information Security Policy. Other associated security policies can be accessed via the University’s Information Policy Index.
