Abstract
Through carefully applied policy and training research support teams can greatly improve their security posture without significant technology and tool investments. Without sustained focus data management activities will naturally decay thus increasing team and institutional risk. Human error, induced through lack of training and established procedures poses the most significant risk to research data and but is also often addressable with zero financial investment. Identifying and focusing on these key areas can help your research team and institution in both the short and long term.
