Training & Guidance

Requirements

University of Arizona employees working on an export-controlled project with a Technology Control Plan (TCP) must complete the initial export control training prior to working on a project or accessing export-controlled information. Agreements will not be signed until training is confirmed and the TCP is in place. 

  • Refresher training is required every two years as long as an individual is on the TCP. 
  • PIs conducting research secured with a TCP are responsible for ensuring all personnel complete the required training.
  • Please contact Export Control with questions.

Export Control Certification

Encryption Guide

Federal regulations and university policy requires restricted data (e.g. HIPAA, Export Control, etc.) to be encrypted at certain levels depending on the type of data The below resource guide was developed to assist faculty, staff, and students in protecting restricted data. There is a great variety of encryption methods available depending on your computer configuration; this guide does not cover every single method. Please contact the appropriate compliance partner (e.g. Export Control or HIPAA) for guidance on the encrypting level requirements in the regulations. For technical assistance contact your Unit’s IT Manager or the 24/7 IT Support Center.
