I. OBJECTIVE

Create a standard procedure by which Manager’s and their employee’s transfer University data during the period of time from when an employee makes their intention clear that they are separating from the University or the transfer of University data at the time of an employee’s involuntary separation from the University.

II. PRODUCURES

Voluntary Separation

It is the manager or direct supervisor’s responsibility to work with the separating employee to extract any data or files that reside locally on their computer that would be needed for business continuity. The supervisor should also ensure they understand what shared drives the separated employee used and have access to those drives if need be.

Using appropriate security precautions, the manager should meet several times with the separating employee to ensure all information is transferred over either email, a shared drive, One Drive or a thumb drive.

During the separation process, through the Employee Separation Checklist, the employee’s manager can select the ability to access the separating employee’s email for up to 30 days and/or forward emails addressed to the separated employee for up to 60 days.

Upon receiving the separation notice, Computing Services will validate through our Backup system that the separating employee’s complete laptop or desktop Image has been backed up.

Computing Services will manually trigger an additional backup within three days of separation.

Immediately upon the effective date of the separation, the separating employee’s manager is responsible for turning over the separating employees’ computer to Computing Services.

Computing Services will store the computer for 14 days as a precaution, and then wipe the data from that computer, reimage the computer, and shelf the computer for redistribution.

If it is discovered that information that resided on the separated employee’s computer was missed during the separation process and needs to be retrieved at a later point, the supervisor would need to contact the Vice President of Human Resources and request the specific data that would need to be recovered from our Backup system.

Involuntary Separation

Upon the dismissal of the individual, Human Resources, would immediately engage Computing Services as well as the direct supervisor to view and extract any data that might be needed by the department to ensure business continuity. This would take place as soon as possible from the date of dismissal.

If a legal hold is required, Computing Services and USAN would be notified and the existing processes of extracting and encrypting the hard drive as well as protecting all email correspondence would be executed. Computing Services would then remove the computer.

If a legal hold is not required, Computing Services will validate through our Backup system that the dismissed employee’s Image has been properly backed up and remove the computer.

Computing Services will store the computer for 14 days as a precaution, and then wipe the data from that computer, reimage the computer, and shelf the computer for redistribution.

If it is discovered that information that resided on the separated employee’s computer was missed during the separation process and needs to be retrieved at a later point, the supervisor would need to contact the Vice President of Human Resources and request the specific data that would need to be recovered from our Backup system.

III. IN CASE OF QUESTIONS

Questions regarding this procedure can be directed to the Vice President of Human Resources.

Part : About Virtru Email Encryption

What is Virtru Email Encryption

Virtru email encryption is a security enhancement to FDU’s Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Outlook email environment, which provides Faculty and Staff the option of sending and receiving encrypted emails using their FDU email account. Virtru for the Microsoft Outlook desktop email client is available for installation for approved FDU Faculty and Staff via the FDU Self Service Portal for Software on Windows 10 desktops and laptops owned by the University.

Virtru Email Client

The Virtru client provides a seamless experience when using the Microsoft Outlook desktop client. The Virtru Outlook plugin is only available on university laptops or desktops running Microsoft Windows.

Virtru for Office365

All Apple macOS users and users who access their FDU email through Office 365 can use Virtru email encryption to send sensitive information electronically.

What is Virtru Secure Reader?

Virtru’s Secure Reader is a platform that can be accessed within FDU’s Outlook on the Web (office365.fdu.edu) and right on your web browser by clicking the “Unlock Message” button in your Virtru secured email. From there, all you have to do is quickly validate you are an authorized recipient of that email or file. Once complete, you can read and reply to the secure email directly in your browser.

A secure message encrypted by Virtru will have a few key components, including a short unencrypted message from the sender, and a button that says “Unlock Message”.

Request Form

To obtain access to Virtru in order to send encrypted emails, you must fill out the request from below:

In addition to encrypting messages and files, Virtru users have the ability to apply additional security settings to protected content. Among these settings is the option to apply an “Expiration Date” to an encrypted email or file.

Typically, if a Virtru email recipient receives an encrypted message or file, they can indefinitely access that content. However, as the owner of that content, you can restrict access after a particular point in time. If a recipient tries to access the content after expiration, they will receive a prompt indicating their access is expired.

Typically, if a Virtru plugin for Microsoft Outlook user receives an encrypted message, they can use Virtru to forward the email to a new party. This will add the new recipient as an authorized user and allow them to unlock the message. “Disable Forwarding,” however, ensures that your recipients can access the encrypted content but will stop any additional users from gaining access to the message. If the original recipient passes the email to a new party, then the new user will not be added as an authorized user and will not be able to unlock the message.

In addition to encrypting messages and attachments, Virtru users have the ability to apply additional security settings to protected content. Among these settings is the option to apply “Watermarking” to an encrypted file.

Typically, if a Virtru recipient receives an encrypted file, they can preview the file in the Virtru Secure Reader and download a decrypted copy locally. When “Watermarking” is applied to a secure file, recipients will only have access in the Secure Reader and will see their email address watermarked across the document.

The addition of the watermark is visible but transparent enough not to obscure the contents of the file when viewed. A recipient will not be able to download a local decrypted copy of the file.

This feature can be applied using the Virtru plugin for Microsoft Outlook or the Virtru Dashboard. It supports the following common file types:

• Microsoft Office documents: .docx, .pptx, .xlsx
• Common image file formats: .jpeg, .png
• PDF documents

In addition to encrypting messages and attachments, Virtru users have the ability to apply additional security settings to protected content. Among these settings is the option to apply “Persistent File Protection (PFP)” to an encrypted file.

PFP provides a secure file container that is portable, universally accessible, and built on top of open standards. Regardless of where files are stored, PFP allows you to select, protect, and share a file with anyone while maintaining full visibility into how it is being used and retaining the ability to revoke access at any time. Any file protected with PFP will convert into the .tdf.html file format. This ensures that the contents are only accessible in Virtru’s Secure Reader, and only authorized parties can view it.

This feature can be applied using the Virtru plugin for Microsoft Outlook on Windows Operating Systems only. It supports the following common file types:

• Microsoft Office documents: .docx, .pptx, .xlsx
