Data Security
Storage of sensitive and confidential data in the cloud is acceptable and protected by our existing licensing agreements however you need to be aware that local synced copies of your data do not meet Western's data classification standard or data handling procedures for sensitive and confidential information.
Sensitive or confidential data in Microsoft Office 365 needs to be protected from being locally synced as you work across different computers at home or in the office.
Laptops and workstations that are using Microsoft Office 365 and syncing data locally, must use a Western login to access the laptop or workstation and the local drive where sync folders are created must be hard drive encrypted.
More information about securing your data in OneDrive can be found at https://wts.uwo.ca/microsoft_onedrive/securing_data.html .
