To ensure that sensitive information stored on mobile devices is kept safe and secure, Drexel has established security standards for devices that synchronize information with university services.

Emails containing sensitive information must be encrypted when sent to an email address on a service that is considered less secure than the one you sent from. For the purposes of this concept, the three-level security hierarchy starts with the IT-managed Exchange service, followed by other IT-managed services, followed by all other Drexel and external mail services.  Messages sent within the same security level or from a lower security level to a higher one do not need to be encrypted.

To ensure that data is kept safe and secure, all new computers are delivered with full disk encryption enabled, and computers in use prior to the data encryption initiative will be manually encrypted by IT. This page outlines the major steps so that you can know what to expect when you are contacted by the IT professional to begin the process.

Emails containing sensitive information are automatically encrypted when sent to an email address on a server with lower security. Email encryption requires the recipient to use a one-time passcode, generated by Microsoft Office 365, to decrypt the message and access any included attachments.
