GISF partnered with Disaster Ready to turn our ‘Digital Security’ module into a short, interactive course accessible on their platform. The module outlines basic measures that ensure sound digital practices and mitigate risks faced by operations and staff.

The COVID-19 pandemic serves as a stark reminder of how integral technology has become to aid work. Not only does technology facilitate contact between staff but it is oftentimes integral to the day-to-day monitoring of programmes and other activities. This module provides core guidance for aid agencies to review their existing processes and integrate digital security into all of their security risk management processes.
