The Turing Data Safe Haven is an open-source framework for creating secure environments to analyse sensitive data. It provides a set of scripts and templates that will allow you to deploy, administer and use your own secure environment. It was developed as part of the Alan Turing Institute's Data Safe Havens in the Cloud project.

- Join our Slack server to ask questions, discuss features, and for general API chat.
- Open a discussion on GitHub for general questions, feature suggestions, and help with our deployment scripts.
- Look through our issues on GitHub to see what we're working on and progress towards specific fixes.
- Subscribe to the Data Safe Haven newsletter for release announcements.
We are keen to transition our implementation from being a Turing project to being a community owned platform. We have worked together with the community to develop the policy, processes and design decisions for the Data Safe Haven.
We welcome contributions from anyone who is interested in the project. There are lots of ways to contribute, not just writing code!
See our Code of Conduct and our Contributor Guide to learn more about how we work together as a community and how you can contribute.
If you're new to the project, why not check out our latest release?
You can also browse all our releases. Follow the link from any release to view and clone this repository as at that release.
Read our versioning scheme for how we number and label releases, as well as details of releases that have been used in production and releases that have undergone formal security evaluation.
We value those who take the time and effort to report security vulnerabilities. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please report it as outlined in our Security and vulnerability disclosure policy.
We are grateful for the following support for this project:
- The Alan Turing Institute's core and additional EPSRC funding (EP/N510129/1, EP/W001381/1, EP/W037211/1, EP/X03870X/1).
- The UKRI Strategic Priorities Fund - AI for Science, Engineering, Health and Government programme (EP/T001569/1), particularly the "Tools, Practices and Systems" theme within that grant.
- Microsoft's generous donation of Azure credits to the Alan Turing Institute.
