Recording of a session at the Humanitarian Networking and Partnership Week (HNPW) 2024. In an increasingly interconnected and volatile world, the responsible handling of data has become paramount. This is particularly the case for humanitarian actors, that work with very vulnerable populations, and are often inadequately equipped on the topic, be it in general understanding, policies, tools and infrastructure or human resources. Not surprisingly, many scandals with wrongful sharing or handling of personal data have emerged throughout the past decade. Moreover, a recent study conducted by the CyberPeace Institute, showed that more than 60% of NGOs have been the victim of a data breach in the past three years. The CyberPeace Institute and CartONG, together with the International Social Service (ISS) and Access Now, are pleased to present a session dedicated to exploring the intricacies of data responsibility, cybersecurity, and the ‘do no harm’ approach.
