Hi all -


Sara Gaudon from LogicalOutcomes, looking for up to date info on DHIS2 technology and security.


Now that many are considering/moving towards GDPR compliance, it's timely for those in the community to provide up to date information to their clients/governments: on how DHIS2 will safely guard personal information.


Does any one have an information packet to share, on the technical features that DHIS2 has within to help with protecting personal information? Note: we aren't using encrypted fields.




This information will be part of a pitch for cloud hosting to an environmental project committee in Africa, with information we've gathered from the DHIS2 website and BAO systems (on the AWS/vendor responsibility side); i.e. it's more than just servers...
Deploying a reliable and scalable system includes at least these aspects:

  *   Human resources with skills in relevant technologies such as web servers and database systems.
  *   Reliable backup of your system including safe storage at a remote server.
  *   Use of SSL (HTTPS / encryption) to keep private information like passwords secure.
  *   Monitoring of server resources and application performance.
  *   Stable and high-speed Internet connectivity.
  *   Stable power supply including a backup power solution.
  *   Secure server environment to avoid unauthorized access, theft and fire.
  *   Powerful hardware with potential for scaling together with increased system usage.

<https://www.dhis2.org/hosting>I would be happy to share our finished product with the community / on the upcoming DHIS2 Community of practice for others to use.


Thank you,

Sara
