UMB prioritizes data security for health-related information and other sensitive personal data. The SRE has been established to protect this data and the intellectual property from research studies. It is critically important for research involving University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) Epic data as well as other sensitive data projects.
The SRE complies with HIPAA standards and other IT security policies for securing Protected Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The SRE allows UMB faculty researchers to conduct research securely without relying on local computing resources. Data and software are accessible remotely and stored in a secure cloud infrastructure, minimizing the risk of data breaches and maximizing computational power.
