UF Research Shield (also called ResShield) was developed in order to protect research data that is classified as restricted data, which means that the data is governed by laws, regulations, and/or contracts. ResShield serves as a secure storage and processing center that can support university projects requiring a secure, FISMA compliant environment. The environment complies with the NIST 800-53 rev5 "moderate" classification. This environment only supports existing customers. No new groups will be added to ResShield in the future. Please see HiPerGator or HiPerGator-ResVault for your protected research data needs.
