Starting today, all work on P4/PHI level data must be ceased and all P4/PHI data removed from Wynton.
Wynton Protected, which is a subset of the Wynton HPC environment, is not approved for storing and working with P4/Protected Health Information (PHI) data. Wynton Protected should be used for P3 data. For UCSF’s determination of the Protection Levels (P1, P2, P3, P4), refer to UCSF Policy 650-16 Addendum F - UCSF Data Classification Standard.
To apply for a new Wynton HPC account with access to Wynton Protected, or to modify an existing account to Wynton Protected, please follow the instructions for requesting or updating an account. This will initiate an automated onboarding process to check that you meet the following prerequisites:
Valid email address
PI approval to work on Wynton Protected
Signed attestation to the UCSF Statement of Responsibility
Once these are completed, you will be notified of your account credentials to access Wynton Wynton. If you already have a regular Wynton HPC account, your account will be reconfigured to access Wynton Protected.
Depending on your project, Wynton Protected may or may not be the best fit for your P3 project. We encourage you to also evaluate the following alternatives at UCSF that are approved for both P3 and P4/PHI data:
