Training on SRHR Data Security and Digital Privacy: Protecting Sensitive Reproductive Health Data in the Digital Age
Course Overview
What is SRHR Data Security and Digital Privacy?
SRHR (Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights) data security and digital privacy focus on safeguarding sensitive health information such as HIV status, reproductive history, and GBV records across digital systems. It combines cybersecurity controls, data governance, legal compliance, and ethical practices to protect confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data.
Digital health expansion has increased the volume and sensitivity of SRHR data collected and stored. Weak security controls, inadequate policies, and limited staff awareness expose systems to breaches, unauthorized access, and misuse. This can lead to stigma, discrimination, legal risks, and loss of patient trust.
This course equips healthcare and program professionals with practical tools to secure SRHR data. It covers risk assessment, data protection frameworks, cybersecurity best practices, and privacy-by-design approaches to ensure safe, compliant, and ethical data handling.
