About the External Hosting of Personal Data Service

From time to time, you may wish to avail of the services of an external hosting solution. If this involves personal data (e.g. staff and student data), UCC is still responsible, from a legal perspective, when it is hosted externally. As such, the External Hosting Process applies and is designed whereby requests to host personal data externally are evaluated and that associated data risks are managed appropriately.  This process must be completed for all IT Systems used in the University.

To proceed each request must be assessed from an IT/security perspective and are subject to the necessary internal approvals and compliance with UCC’s procurement and GDPR policies/procedures.
