DeiC Interactive HPC - UCloud is run by a consortium of AAU, AU, and SDU and provided via the the UCloud platform located in Denmark at the eScience center at SDU which holds a formal ISO27001 certification.
AU has a framework data processing agreement with SDU that allows for researchers to store and process confidential and sensitive data in DeiC Interactive HPC - UCloud.
The following are the minimum requirements for all services used for personal data:
- When using DeiC Interactive HPC - UCloud the researcher must make a risk assessment of the specific data. This is the regular GDPR requirement.
- In addition, DeiC Interactive HPC - UCloud's terms and conditions must be accepted and thereby also DeiC Interactive HPC - UCloud's terms of use and data processing terms for the specific project. This happens when you use DeiC Interactive HPC - UCloud for the first time. Pressing “I agree/accept/etc.” in DeiC Interactive HPC - UCloud is the equivalent of signing an agreement for use of service. Signatories at AU are the Heads of Department, and it is therefore necessary that the researcher, prior to accepting the terms, is given the approval and mandate by its Head of Department to accept the terms and conditions for the data in question.
If the researcher – based on the risk assessment of the specific data – deems that additional instructions are to be provided for SDU, it is the responsibility of the researcher to ensure that these instructions are given to SDU.
