Data Management Framework: What’s It All About?

Did you know that a Social Security number, driver’s license and date of birth are each classified as a different level of sensitive data at NC State? The university created the Data Management Framework (DMF) to help communicate the different levels of data — green, yellow, red and purple. Guided by industry best practices, Elizabeth Cole-Walker of OIT Security and Compliance will explain why the DMF was created and how it protects you and the university. This learning lab will answer your questions about campus data, technical issues or anything else that may affect your work with sensitive data and how to Keep IT Private!
