Above page states: When sensitive data isn't managed appropriately, it poses many risks to Cornell. By law, possible loss to certain types of data requires Cornell to report to government agencies and notify potentially affected individuals. Responding to data losses (even possible losses) can easily consume hundreds of hours and is, as a result, an expensive activity. It can also significantly disrupt university business by involving many people from your department and other campus offices.
