Relevance to the Centre

Supports our industry partners to confidently make secure decisions in regards to how their data will be used in research. The process for obtaining a required dataset from asset owners can be challenging, even when undertaking approved industry-academic projects. Approval processes differ between organisations. The DRAT offers an alternative, transparent decision-making process that has been made publicly available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. The tool ensures that (a) recommended restrictions and controls are based on the actual risk posed by a dataset (rather than a one size fits all approach), (b) the data owner’s needs for confidentiality are appropriately managed, and (c) the potential for research value is maximised.
