Initial considerations

Determine your data's classification.

  • Classifying your data is the first step to knowing what safeguards are required to securely process or store your data.

Determine other project requirements.

  • A non-exhaustive list of requirements to consider when selecting a research environment include:

    • Legislative and/or regulatory obligations,

    • contractual and agreement obligations (e.g.; data share [DSA], material transfer [MTA]),

    • human ethics and animal use protocols,

    • research project stage,

    • backup requirements,

    • funding and cost limitations,

    • collaboration and sharing capabilities, and

    • space requirements.


What can I do?

Evaluate possible institutional options.

Contact your local IT about what divisional or departmental options are viable for your research.

If institutional and divisional offerings are unsuitable, you may choose to manage your own systems.
