Coming soon: Changes to High-Risk Data Attestation

On Thursday, Mar. 27, from 6 p.m. – 7 p.m., ITS will be implementing changes to the annual High-Risk Data Attestation required to be completed by WCM faculty, staff, and students. All WCM employees are required to complete the attestation annually (upon their anniversary date) at attest.weill.cornell.edu.  

Please note that you may not see the changes mentioned below until the following day while the implementation is finalized.  

What’s new to the attestation 

• You can reopen your own attestation and update answers. This is ideal if you change roles mid-year and your new role exposes you to different data and responsibilities. You no longer need to go through ITS to reopen your survey if you’d like to update it before your anniversary date.  

• A new question will confirm your Directory details. To ensure the data in our online directory is up to date, you will be asked to verify your directory details and update them.  

• Save your attestation progress. If you need time to complete the attestation, you can save your answers and exit the form, and submit your data at a later time.  

If you have any questions about these changes, please contact ITS Security at its-security@med.cornell.edu.
