  • Research areas that use large datasets that can be analyzed to reveal patterns, trends and associations, especially related to human behaviour and interactions that may have ethical, commercial or legal impacts at the individual, domestic or international level. The sensitivity of a large dataset depends on the nature, type and state of the information it contains, as well as how it may be used in the aggregate.
  • Research areas that use personal data that could be leveraged by hostile state actors to harm Canada’s national and economic security through its exploitation.

TMU researchers travelling abroad for academic and professional purposes may be targeted for their access to certain sources of information and data, as foreign governments and businesses place a high priority on acquiring information related to research and innovation.

We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the Government of Canada guides and recommendations, which include tips for staying cyber-safe before and during travelling, as well as once you return home.

We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the following TMU policies, procedures and guidelines to help maintain the integrity and confidentiality of electronically accessed research data and foster responsible and secure digital practices among researchers and staff.
