It’s recommended to begin by involving all the partners in signing non-disclosure agreements that provide information about the data management policies and legal requirements. Encrypt access and monitor data use through shared platforms such as cloud based services. Always assess the policies and procedures that relate to the protection of data to check for compliance. For instance, in one of the previous projects, I cooperated with partners to introduce the option of multi-factor authentication that minimized the chances of third-party interference and guarantee data did not fall into the wrong hands at the teamwork stage.

A non share data agreement and non disclosure data agreement should be made. Also access to data should be controlled, monitored with limits to individuals and pwrmission to limited number of people.

• Effective IT system to formalize the management and monitoring of Data access • Design the Data access framework – which part of dataset, when, who, where and timeline etc., in align with the local government policy • A Non-disclosure agreement, deeply understanding the Law of the Land the external research partners are operating
