I feel like some of us have talked about this before (specifically with Shadrock of Ushahidi at SotM year before last about this), but don't remember us coming up with any good guides or practices. Is this a thing we see a need for? I can imagine local folk spinning up a resource/needs map in a crisis getting a quick pop-up about PII and data security best practices.

This isn’t limited to mapping data but data in general. SWB has a data security and privacy template that is more about making sure reasonable steps are being followed, and I have a much more rigorous template that I use for my own private business (I have healthcare and financial services clients). I would tend to think that based on what we do in DHN, it will fall more on the former side, so we might consider taking the SWB template, or someone else’s if others exist, and adjust as necessary? In today’s world I don’t see why we DON’T need something like this.

Although perhaps a bit more general, there is a Data Protection page on the DHN site  [which is apparently error-ing out for public].  Below is what I see when I log into the site. Still very much not a guide/handbook to get a group "up & running" correctly from the start.

Has everyone seen the responsible data handbook developed by the Engine Room?

Morning

The ICRC Handbook on Data Protection covers many of these items.

The Netherlands Red Cross (510 global) and I are both working on skillshare materials for the movement. I am hoping to open them up. They also just published their responsible data policy on 510.global. This week I am hosting sessions getting closer to a policy for IFRC.

My colleague Guido published a GIS guide this year for all of IFRC. I'll look for the public link. This is the main tool we are now using to standardize GIS via the Surge Information Management Support (SIMS).  Rcrcsims.org.
