A good starting point is this general VU information security page. The faculty has also created a brief page on the minimum standards you should follow to ensure a base-level of security in your day-to-day work.
For additional guidance on security topics, the faculty has also created the following guides:
- Encryption Guide
- Secure Storage Guide
- Secure Digital Data Transfer Guide
- Secure Physical Data Transport Guide
- Security for Students Guide
Should a data leak occur, you must inform the IT Servicedesk immediately. You must also inform the faculty's Research and Policy Support (REPS) team via research.data.fgb@vu.nl. Set the e-mail to "high priority".
In addition to information security, it is also important to be aware of Knowledge Security concerns when collaborating with international institutions and/or hiring international employees. You can find more information on Knowledge Security in the following documents:
