About UCPH SIF
SIF is the Sensitive Information Facility at University of Copenhagen
(UCPH) meant for storing sensitive data. In particular this includes personal
data requiring special care under the EU General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR). SIF delivers secure centralized storage space for various projects
involving sensitive data
and integrates safe
sharing with other project participants.
As a user of SIF you should beware of the following:
- When you create a new project for storing personal data or similar the Faculty Secretariat is automatically notified
- Any login attempt is logged
- Any access to data is logged along with your ID, time of day and other relevant information
- Any access pattern that is considered "suspicious" will result in a suspension of your account
You are not under any circumstances allowed to share your
account with anybody else. If other persons need access to your data
they must have and use their own account to do so.
Examples of suspicious behavior may include:
- Attempts to login from different internet addresses within a short time frame
- Structured download of data
- Attempts to circumvent security controls or access data to which you have no privilege
Please note that these rules are in place to protect you as a researcher
and University of Copenhagen in general. We try hard to make the system
as easy to use as possible, while always ensuring the required high level
of security.
For now SIF use is limited to the faculty of Science, but it may be
extended to all of UCPH in the future to support the general UCPH
Data Management Guidelines.
