#  How secure are files in Canvas? 

 



Canvas has L3 security. Most materials that are stored in Canvas course sites do not have a higher security level.

You must not store files in Canvas that have a L4 classification or above. See [Harvard's Security Policy](https://policy.security.harvard.edu/) for more information on material classifications and how to properly store and share L4/L5 information.
