Secure Research Computing Resources

 


Who is Secure Research Computing?

Secure Research Computing is a small team of specialists that develop, support and maintain secure research computing resources for the campus.  This group is available to connect you with and field questions about existing campus solutions supporting research under various compliance data protection regulations. We work in close partnership with many campus services including the Office of Information Technology's Information Security, the Office of Export Controlsthe Center for National Security Initiatives and many others.

For general inquiries regarding Secure Research Computing, email the team at srcs-help@colorado.edu.


The Preserve

The Preserve is an environment available to researchers who engage in projects that contain confidential or highly confidential data.  It is highly controlled to specifically protect research that must eventually meet Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 Level 2, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and certain Export Control regulations.  

Who Can Get It?

Any researcher or research support staff who work with confidential or highly confidential data can request access to the environment, however given that the environment is designed for CUI and Export controlled projects,  all users of the environment will need to consider the costs of O365 licenses and Azure government computing resources and must adhere to stringent policies, standards and procedures required to protect it.   See TBD CUI Policy. ​
