The Richtlinie zur Informationssicherheit der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen/Georg-August-Universität Göttingen Stiftung Öffentlichen Rechts (Stand 24.01.2020) prohibits the storage of official data on IT systems outside the Georg-August-University of Göttingen or the GWDG (e.g. Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox) in Anlage 2 A.16.

The storage of data requiring protection on the local hard drive or other local storage media is only permitted under certain conditions. In addition, Anlage 2 A.19 prescribes the regular performance of data backups.
