The Office of Information Technology has completed the successful deployment of BCM’s new email (and OneDrive) encryption software! These advanced, yet seamless security controls offer a critical layer of protection for sensitive information in transit. As with most technical advancements, recipients of encrypted emails (or OneDrive documents) will experience a slight change. Click here for a brief video and user documentation created to assist you in providing support to the recipients of your encrypted emails.
Can faculty members still post links to videos/files saved in OneDrive to Blackboard? Yes, if the data is not sensitive, they can still use the Anyone sharing options. Sharing of OneDrive files externally to “anyone with the link” is still possible, but not if the file contains sensitive information. Users can still share with “specific people”, just not anonymously.
Do the changes apply to sensitive/PHI files only? Yes, the Anyone option will not be available if the file/folder contains sensitive information.
What is classified as sensitive? Personal Health Information and Personally Identifiable Information.
