Baseline Organizational Policies and Practices

This is a draft of a resource that came out of envisioning the next iteration of the Responsible Data Forum's Organizational Security Atomized Plan, and reframing it as a guide towards implementation within a group. In this reframing I have relied heavily on the content of the Organizational Security Atomized Plan itself, Internews' SAFETAG organizational assessment framework, and other resources listed in the resources section.

The current approach is to provide:

1. a description of a baseline organizational practice

2. associated links to resources to help implement such a practice

3. a related template that a group could tailor or build upon to create a policy for the organization to implement

This is a rough draft. Please modify and improve it, and let me know what is helpful or not helpful!

Thanks to the groups and organizations I've worked with whose needs instigated the creation of this resource, and for their patience as it continues to be developed.

Future plans for this resource include:

• adding more organizational policy templates
• getting it reviewed by the community, and feedback incorporated
• ramp-ups for topics about practices that further increase the security and safety of staff and communities
• stories or illustrations to better communicate the importance of these baseline practices
