Build confidence in reviewing outputs and applying sound judgment.
Cate Urban Communications’ to Protecting Data
The course is a new requirement for all HHS contractors, including NLM contractors, like me. Each year, I am also required to take a cybersecurity course and data protection course. Additionally, my team and I are currently participating in TryHackMe training to better understand cybersecurity issues. We are committed to protecting our clients’ data and strengthening guardrails around that data.
