- Physical Security: OCTRI's REDCap software is housed on servers located in ITG's Advanced Computing Center providing locked physical security
- Electronic Security: The REDCap servers are housed behind both the OHSU firewall and a second ACC firewall. All transmissions of data from the application are encrypted over HTTPS with the industry standard TLS 1.2/1.3 protocol (AES 256-bit encryption).
- Controlled User Access: REDCap employs a robust multi-level security system that enables researchers to easily implement "minimum necessary" data access for their research staff, including specification of data fields that are identifiers. This feature includes “single click” ability to provide completely deidentified (removing all identified data fields and shifting dates) for analysis or other purposes. User activities are logged to enable auditing of all data access. Access is integrated with OHSU's network such that users who are also OHSU employees are authenticated against their OHSU network credentials.
- Data Integrity: REDCap is jointly managed in accordance with OHSU Information Security Directives by ACC staff and members of OCTRI's Biomedical Informatics Program, ensuring fidelity of database configuration and back-ups. User activities are logged to enable auditing of all data changes.

To re-purpose a project that is in production (and collecting real data) for a different protocol than the one it was approved for:
- Make a copy of the project (without data).
- Complete OCTRI's Resource Request form to submit the additional documentation about the project request.
- To transfer data from the original project to the new project:
- Export data from the original project.
- Ensure the data you have exported and want to transfer to the new project are a part of your IRB approved protocol.
- Once the new project is moved to production, import the data.

- Make a copy of the project.
- Complete OCTRI's Resource Request form to submit the additional documentation about the project request.
- Mark the original project as complete.
- The REDCap Team will withdraw REDCap services for the original project.
