An university department needed to sanitize its public facing information and remove any connections between projects and the clients those projects were for. As a precaution, clients were referred to in very general terms and assigned an identifier unique to that client. Client names and identifiers are recorded in a separate Excel document for use my administrative and research staff.
This project dealt with the students’ communication, organization, and critical thinking skills. Social Engineering hacks can bypass most security, so being able to determine what public information could lead to acquiring protected client information required discussion and developing a clear policy for editing client information.
