Identity management
You can find an introduction in our glossary on the subject of identity management. We will be happy to support you in organising the necessary processes. Central IT services in this area of application (operation of specialised software tools) are provided by the Trustee Office .
- Consent management
In the area of consent management, there are new challenges due to regulatory requirements and, above all, digitalisation and networking, for which technical solutions (such as an electronic consent management system) must be developed in some cases. - Pseudonymisation services
Pseudonymisation is a central requirement of data protection with regard to research data. Data trustee services and pseudonymisation procedures can be used to separate identity data from research data without compromising linkability. - Anonymisation
The implementation of anonymisation (for example, to attach data to publications or to upload it to public repositories) is a complex task for which training and tools can be offered.
Encryption
Encryption is an important technical measure in terms of information security.
Consultancy services and, if required, technical support can be offered for project-specific implementation. We have summarised some implementation recommendations for encrypted data transmission in a practical tip.
