    Information security at South African universities-Implications for biomedical research
    (Oxford University Press, 2020) Anderson, Dominique; Abiodun, Oluwafemi Peter; Christoffels, Alan
    In South Africa, a similar regulation strategy to the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, called the Protection of Personal Information Act (No 4 of 2013) (POPIA), will be implemented, with a view to mitigate cybercrime and information security vulnerabilities. A qualitative exploratory analysis of information security management at universities in South Africa, using a Technology, Organisation, and Environment model, highlights the need for maintaining the security infrastructure to facilitate management of security within the university network, while placing emphasis on information security management processes, such as risk analysis, architecture review, code inspection, and security testing.

    Understanding biobanking : An assessment of the public engagement speaking book intervention Biobanking and Me
    (South African Medical Association, 2019) Bedeker, Anja; Anderson, Dominique; Lose, Thoba
    Meaningful engagement with donors of biological samples intended for human-sample biobanking increases knowledge, and allows donors to make informed decisions. Informed donors provide a platform for public awareness, allowing communities to understand the impact of research, and may even encourage more people to donate biological samples. The Biobanking and Me speaking book was written to explain relevant concepts, including biobanks, genetic research and participant rights, to persons from any educational level or background. Two bilingual versions of the speaking book (English-Afrikaans and English-isiXhosa) were produced, and the impact of the speaking book was assessed.
