Data Governance Framework

Ensuring ethical integrity, patient privacy, and rigorous security in stroke outcomes research.

The WeCASOR Network is committed to the highest standards of data governance. Our framework ensures that collaborative research is conducted responsible, transparently, and in full compliance with international ethical standards.

Patient Confidentiality

Rigorous anonymization and de-identification protocols are mandatory for all research data shared within the network.

Ethical Oversight

Each participating institution is responsible for securing local IRB/Ethics Committee approvals for all studies.

Secure Environments

Research data is managed through secure, access-controlled environments separate from public web servers.

Public Security Statement
