Cybersecurity Approval for Academic Use

[LEO HUISMAN 21008310]

Dear OpenMeta Analyst

I am Leo Huisman, an optometry student in Scotland, intending on using your software's charitable facilities.

My university, The University of The Highlands and Islands, has stringent cybersecurity measures that calls for cybersecure approval for the use of software in university affairs. I was wondering if you could help me with guidance on how to address this query. Is there any certification that the software holds? Any kind of proof of abidance to standards? Examples being the "Cyber Essentials" certification, abidance to ISO27001 or ISO27002. I understand this may seem like a far cry, and if unavailable, perhaps there are other arguments that could be made: confirmation that the software is locally run, universities that advocate the software's use or any other points you think may be applicable to ensure cyber security. Could the Cochrane excerpt  https://abstracts.cochrane.org/2010-keystone/openmeta-analyst-open-source-cross-platform-software-advanced-meta-analysis" be considered advocacy from Cochrane representative? Any kind of support or advice from you would be greatly appreciated.

My humble gratitude in advance for your help, I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Leo Huisman
