Re: Tableau Public Online Dashboards

[Brad Judy <brad.judy () CU EDU>]

My rule for Tableau Public is that the raw data must be fully public in nature (which is the entire point of the 
Tableau Public offering). It’s a neat tool and we have some groups using it for non-PII data.

I absolutely do not trust the service for any non-public data. Tableau themselves says not to use it for non-public 
data.

Subject: [SECURITY] Tableau Public Online Dashboards

Hi all,

 During a recent conversation with our IR team about sending our student data to Tableau Online to present dashboards 
publicly, a question came up on how other Universities are presenting the data.

For those that do send data to Tableau online for public reports/dashboards, do you anonymize the data before you send 
to Tableau, or do you send raw student data, then trust the dashboards to not allow access to FERPA information?

Due to the sensitivity of the data, please feel free to respond directly instead on the open forum…

Thanks!

-Jonathan
