Compliance
Google Drive at U-M is a university contracted-for service. It is covered by the university’s Google Workspace for Education agreement. It provides a secure environment within which to maintain or share the university's sensitive unregulated data, as well as some—but not all—types of sensitive regulated data.
Any restrictions on placing some types of sensitive regulated data in U-M Google Drive are based on compliance rather than security. While Google Drive at U-M is secure, it does not comply with some specific regulatory and U-M policy requirements for certain types of sensitive regulated data.
