Data Governance and Protection at Duke

Duke faculty, staff, students, patients, collaborators and research subjects entrust us with their personal and confidential information. We balance the free exchange of information with the need to protect sensitive or regulated information and to ensure information is available for authorized use. Data is a valuable strategic asset and we must demonstrate responsible stewardship for the data we access and create to maintain its security, confidentiality, integrity and availability.
