 Regulated Data is any data that is controlled by regulations that the University must comply with in storing, transmitting, or using that data.  Before using any service to send, store, or share Institutional Data, review which systems are approved for regulatory compliance.  The Regulated Data Chart helps you understand which software and systems are safe to store different types of Regulated Data in.  These restrictions are often dictated by the security of the system as well as contractual agreements between the university and the service provider.
