Data Security Infrastructure Policy (DSIP)

Provides security and technology infrastructure recommendations for genomic and related health data sharing

Trust is necessary for sharing genomic and related health data effectively and responsibly. But without a safe, robust, and trustworthy technology infrastructure, it is difficult for stakeholders to trust one another, for users to trust the platforms that implement standards, and for patients and participants to trust that their personal data will be handled responsibly and respectfully. Developed by the GA4GH Data Security Work Stream, the Data Security Infrastructure Policy (DSIP) recommends best practices to maximise the security of international genomic data sharing. The document is relevant to anyone using or creating software held to high security standards.
