Lock It Down: Data Done Right

We collect and share data every day—but are we doing it securely?

This practical workshop breaks down what it really means to handle personal and sensitive data responsibly, from the moment it’s collected to when is stored and shared for operational purposes.

We’ll cover smart, real-world practices for collecting data by phone, email, secure file sharing and online forms; common pitfalls that lead to privacy incidents; and simple steps you can take to reduce risk and protect the people behind the data. You’ll also learn when sharing data is appropriate, when it’s not, and how to pause and double-check before hitting “send.”

Whether you work with student, alumni, or employee data, this session will help you build good data habits—so you can collect and share information confidently, securely, and compliantly.
