How to Review Security Before Allowing Staff to Export Reports

Reports can contain more personal or commercial data than staff need. Broad export capability also creates local copies that may not follow the source system’s access and retention controls.

What to check

Review report fields, user roles, export formats, download locations, audit logs, retention, and external sharing. Determine whether a filtered report or aggregate view meets the work need.

Recommended next step

Restrict exports by role and purpose, log use, and store approved files in managed locations. Periodically review export access and remove old copies according to retention requirements.
