NGOs and humanitarian organisations
Beneficiary records, case notes and donor reporting requirements, often collected in the field.
In humanitarian settings a data breach can put people at physical risk, not only financial risk. We help programme, M&E and protection teams collect only what they need, share it safely with partners and close projects without leaving data behind.
What you hold
- Beneficiary names, locations, photographs and identity numbers
- Health, protection and case management records
- Survey and monitoring and evaluation data collected on mobile devices
- Staff, volunteer and partner records
Rules that apply
- The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and GAID 2025
- Donor and UN agency data protection and safeguarding requirements
- Sector guidance such as the ICRC Handbook on Data Protection in Humanitarian Action
Common gaps we find
- Consent forms that beneficiaries cannot read or do not understand
- Field data synced to personal phones and shared through messaging apps
- Data shared with partners without written agreements
- No retention rule once a project closes
