There is no cost for the “basic” SAFE, which includes use of the virtual desktop, 100 GB of storage space, and the
licensing for SAS and Stata. Investigators can request additional software or increase the storage space on the
file share for a fee. (Fees depend on the specific licensing fee for the software and the amount of storage space requested.)

The SAFE’s basic file share stores up to 100 GB of data; storage can be expanded for an additional fee ($3/month per 100 GB).

In order to comply with federal and institutional requirements to protect patient data, the physical location of the data
extracted, as well as the security of the data while in transit, must be protected against unauthorized access and use.
Investigators who use the SAFE reduce the risk of copying data to an unencrypted desktop or device because the SAFE
provides the tools to securely analyze and share PHI/PII all within the SAFE environment.
