August 7, 2015 Continued Investigation of Risks and Concerns with Cloud-based Solutions and Storage of Personal Data Team Members Name College/Affiliation Email Phone Linda Baer Comptroller s Office lbaer@purdue.edu 765-496- 7863 Dave Carmichael College of Engineering IT carmicha@purdue.edu 765-494- 3546 James Daniel Faculty danieljr@purdue.edu 765-494- 8247 Greg Hedrick CISO Hedrick@purdue.edu 765-494- 1875 John Turek Faculty turekj@purdue.edu 765-494- 5854 1) Problem Statement The scope of this effort will be to provide a detailed recommendation for educational materials for faculty and staff on understanding the use and acquisition of cloud and storage services as well as the risks and concerns of using said services. This group will take the recommendations from the original group, outline what all is needed and find the groups who would put together or provide the educational materials, web site, hotline materials, as well as the matrix of currently provided solutions. We will identify how a clearing- house of cloud and storage services might be constructed and identify how it would be maintained. The goal will be to work with the groups that would put together the new materials or provide the services and put together recommendations that will be provided to the appropriate individual for approval thus having the highest likelihood of success. 2) Executive Summary Include description of the current state and recommended future action. Provide key objectives. Educational and informational materials related to Purdue are minimally available for the cloud. The previous OOC Cloud report will be used as background information for those continuing to work on this project. The IT Security and Policy (ITSP) workflow document for purchasing and the newly created Cloud Services Detail spreadsheet will be kept current following ITSP guidance. ITSP and IT Customer Relations (ITCR) will determine where all Cloud Documents will be housed. The expectation is that some of the information will be readily understandable by anyone and other information will be for IT staff to assist faculty, staff, and grad students. 3) Recommendation(s) & Action Items Provide a detailed recommendation for investigation and the action items necessary to carry out. Determine organizational units responsible for Page 1
implementation. ITSP and ITCR are responsible for content, maintenance, and hosting. This would likely be some KB articles and one pagers as well as a tab off of the SecurePurdue web site. All of this material can then be referenced by other IT organizations on campus without duplicating effort. The primary materials coming out of this report are: a) Cloud software being used at Purdue University (spreadsheet) (see appendix A). This document should be updated as new cloud services are purchased or when existing cloud services are reviewed. It is important to have an active spreadsheet so that others can refer to it when they are looking for a cloud service. The key information in this spreadsheet includes whether it is a service, storage, or both; Purdue Ownership; what kind of data is allowed; as well as several other important details. This will likely need to be owned by Purchasing and ITSP and maintained by both. IT Commodities has a role in this as new services are purchased b) Purchasing workflow document that will assist in the acquisition of a cloud service This document already exists and was created by ITSP. The use of this workflow needs to be emphasized with Purchasing, Project Managers, and other IT staff involved with system implementations. This document can also be shared from the SecurePurdue/Cloud web site for others to know what they need. c) A general purpose Information for New Faculty document (see appendix B) provided and used by the College of Veterinary Medicine. They have added Cloud/Network storage to reflect the importance of this topic. Somehow we need to generate content for this topic. d) An important item that is outside of the Cloud Education topic of this report is that ITaP is performing a proof of concept of a Cisco product called Cloud Data Consumption which is supposed to identify the cloud services which are in use at Purdue. This may enhance existing documentation or provide a data point from which to base additional decisions. It is recommended that an adhoc committee consisting of individuals from ITSP, Academic IT, ITCR, Procurement, and the Data Stewards be formed for the purpose of generating the content referenced above. 4) Investigation: a) Identify Key Stakeholders (Coverage of all associated groups is important). i) Faculty needing cloud services for research and instruction ii) Staff needing cloud services for research, instruction, and administration iii) ITSP security of where computing and data is taking place iv) IT Staff understanding the bigger picture of where computing and data is taking place in order to assist and inform Page 2
v) Data Stewards caring how the data for which they are responsible is being handled and housed vi) Procurement caring about licenses and costs of cloud services and storage 5) Resource Requirements a) Cloud services are already being used and purchased. Quite a bit of the topics above are being handled on the fly with little consistency. There will be some upfront resources needed to put together and house the content. In the long run, there may be some resources saved given access to the knowledge in accessible location(s) and a reduction in duplicate services. Page 3
