Except when absolutely neccessary, do not take personal and confidential information off campus. Whenever personal and confidential information is taken off of Queen's campus, it should be encrypted.
Information can be accessed from off campus using any of the following services:
- ITServices provides the ability to access your sensitive data from off campus as long as you have an Internet connection.
- Queen's Webmail allows secure access to your Queen's email from off campus. Please note that in order to access archived email, your email client must be configured appropriately.
- QShare is a secure data storage application that allows access from off campus.
- Other Queen's applications can be accessed using the Windows Remote Access service.
- If you are travelling to a location that does not have Internet access and you need to have access to personal and confidential information, store only the files which are absolutely necessary on an encrypted USB key. Encrypted USB keys are available at the Campus Computer Store.
- If personal and confidential information must be stored directly on a desktop or laptop, store only the files which are absolutely neccessary using an approved encryption method. ITServices recommends using both file and disk level encryption solutions to ensure optimal data security.
