# Sensitive data on DCSR NAS

Since november 2023, new research projects should store their data using Tresorit. Please see the detailed documentation : [https://wiki.unil.ch/ci/books/research-data-storage/chapter/donnees-sensibles-tresorit](https://wiki.unil.ch/ci/books/research-data-storage/chapter/donnees-sensibles-tresorit)

Current user of the NAS DCSR RECHERCHE-S/Boxcryptor can continue to use this solution until June 2024.
