It is well understood that members of the CU research community will need access to data when presenting and conducting research in foreign locations. The following are some considerations to protect sensitive and controlled data while facilitating the traveler's and the University's interests. Always be aware of your surroundings and keep track of all your personal electronic devices. Do not leave devices unattended and ensure that your devices are password-protected and encrypted. Travel to certain High Risk countries requires special consideration and preparation.

• Best: Travel LightÌýÌý

For personnel travelling internationally on official CU business, we strongly recommend that you leave your current devices at home altogether (if possible) or travel with university-provided loaner equipment. You can arrange a loaner by submitting a request to OIT Desktop Support. Use the loaner device instead of your laptop; it will allow you to manage email, view your calendar, run presentations, edit documents, and connect to university web sites. The device is set up specifically for your use and wiped back to factory settings when you return. The device uses the campus encryption service to encrypt the device and provides you with a secure platform for the duration of your travel. Ìý

If you feel your needs will not be met by a loaner laptop, another option is to delete any applications or file access that would expose sensitive data, and take only the data you’ll need for the trip. You’ll need to make sure that the machine is encrypted using the university's encryption service before you go. Consult with our help desk for assistance. Whenever possible, leave USB drives at home. These are easily lost and easily corrupted. If you must travel with a USB device, be sure that it’s encrypted. Ìý
