Current Narrative:

Indiana recognizes that a key element to utilizing data across agencies for either improved customer service or improved measurement and tracking of outcomes is ensuring the integrity of all data. This is accomplished with various technical safeguards and ensuring personnel handling this data are properly trained in all relevant regulations and the fundamentals of handling personal and confidential data. Technical safeguards include:

  • Approved processes that limit access to the data to only those personnel who require access to carry out their daily job functions;
  • Network security, monitoring, firewalls, etc. to prevent unauthorized access to data from entities outside of State government;
  • Encryption technology; and
  • Secure data transport mechanisms.

All State personnel undergo annual training on the proper handling of confidential data. This training is updated to reflect the most current statutes and interpretations. Those specifically involved in reporting are trained on the various de-identification and aggregation rules that apply.
