The data in the backups will only be accessed by authorized IT staff according to guidance provided by the Office of General Counsel in accordance with University policy and state and federal laws. The keys to access the encrypted data are stored in a vault appliance at Saint Joseph’s University and CrashPlan is unable to decrypt SJU data. This provides very rigorous protection for backed-up data, and also the ability to perform thorough and efficient reviews in the unfortunate event that a computer is lost, stolen or compromised. Data is also encrypted in storage in the CrashPlan secure data center facility which is redundant and fault tolerant. All data is encrypted while in transit to the CrashPlan cloud. The University's implementation of CrashPlan has several features to protect the confidentiality of backed-up data. How does CrashPlan protect the confidentiality of backed-up data?
