Re: Secure File Transfer

Any secure method of data transfer is acceptable here.  We do use encrypted
mail.  But one method that is very easy is the use of Google Apps Education.
'out-of-the-box' it should be acceptable for storing/sharing FERPA data.
And if you abide by some restrictions Google will even sign a BAA, which
from our perspective makes it acceptable for sharing all manner of sensitive
data including PHI.

Hello -

 

I was hoping to get feedback on a few things.  First what is the general
screensaver time out everyone uses?  5minutes , 15minutes?

 

Also on a separate note in transferring sensitive data internally, how do
you approach this?  Do you use a FTP server? Are you ok using email
(encrypted)? Do you have a central repository such as a website to upload to
?

We are looking at a few ways to accomplish this.  Any feedback would be
appreciated.

 

Thanks

Dan
