Data Security - Copiers Many questions received recently on copier data security, particularly regarding disposal • For Stanford-Owned copiers: • Regular disposal process (Excess) goes through Surplus, and copiers will have drives removed and/or destroyed prior to leaving campus • For Leased copiers: • Procurement has made arrangements with major vendors to certify data is destroyed when copier is returned at the end of the lease or upon trade-up
Imports / Exports • ANY time you are shipping equipment to or from another country, you must contact the Export Control Office, regardless of type of equipment or country being shipped to. • Includes loans, transfers, sales, or hand-carry by researchers (not purchases through procurement) • Contact Steve Eisner, Export Control Officer • Steve.eisner@stanford.edu (http://export/) • CC your PSR in every case (except routine laptop certifications) – PMO must be informed of international activity, please! http://ora.stanford.edu/ora/pmo/contacts.asp
