Data ingress

Purpose

Data must be brought into the Turing TRE in order to carry out research. Some projects may also require other artifacts, such as code. The purpose of this document is to define the security procedures around data ingress.

Scope

This procedure covers all data and code ingress for all projects running in the Turing TRE.

Responsibilities

Role	Responsibility
🧑‍🔬 Project team	Confirming that data ingress has been successfully completed
🧑‍🏫 Project data manager	Making data ingress request
🧑‍💻 Trusted research data manager	Assessing whether requested artifacts are appropriate for ingress
🧑‍🔧 Trusted research system administrator	Assisting external data providers in uploading data to the TRE

Procedure

1. Complete data ingress form

   • Responsible: 🧑‍🏫 Project data manager

   • Fill out a Turing TRE Data Ingress Request form using the template in the data_ingress folder

   • Follow the guidance here

   • Note that several methods of bringing data into the TRE are possible, discuss which is most appropriate with the data provider:

     • Data ingress with Azure Storage Explorer (preferred)

     • Data ingress with AzCopy

     • Data ingress with SFTP

     • Data ingress with other methods

2. Adding a record to the ROPA

   • Responsible: 🧑‍💻 Trusted research data manager

   • If the project will work with or generate personal data it must be added to the Turing Record of Processing Activities (ROPA).

   • Work with the Data Protection team to ensure this is recorded correctly.

3. Review ingress request

   • Responsible: 🧑‍💻 Trusted research data manager

   • Review the Turing TRE Data Ingress Request form and any supporting documents.

   • If any changes are needed, discuss these with the 🧑‍🔬 Project team and amend the form accordingly.

4. Approve data ingress

   • 🧑‍🏫 Project data manager

   • Send the form to be DocuSigned by each of the appropriate responsible people named on the project initiation form

   • Place the signed form in the data-ingress ‣ signed folder in Sharepoint

5. Carry out data ingress

   • 🧑‍🔧 Trusted research system administrator: Work with the data provider and help them carry out the data ingress

6. Validate data ingress

   • 🧑‍🔬 Project team: Validate that the ingressed data is complete and correct.
