Coordinated Access for Data, Research and Environments (CADRE) – A Five Safes Implementation Framework for Sensitive Data in Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences in Australia.
The CADRE platform will be a means to improve Australian researcher access to sensitive data by operationalising the Five Safes framework. The platform is being developed to fill a gap in national research infrastructure, remove barriers and enhance data access processes.

A system to:
- Increase the speed at which social sciences and related disciplines get access to sensitive data
- Decrease the risk, time and costs associated with providing access to data (for data holders) and accessing data (for researchers)
By means of:
- The development of a shared and distributed sensitive data management platform using the Five Safes framework and common accreditation and information exchange protocols
In order to:
- Enable data owners and users to address the core concerns around governance, creation, management and sharing of sensitive data for research
- Share and move sensitive data safely between higher education, national research and government facilities and services
Project Outcomes
There are five project outcomes:
- Shared conceptual framework – efficiently and reliably connecting the elements of the Five Safes – People, Projects, Data, Settings and Outputs within a framework.
- Information exchange protocols – exchanging identifier and accreditation information between data users, providers and trusted access facilities – based on the AAF identity provision model
- Integrated data access management platform – managing data access requests from researchers and data supply from providers
- Pilot and production platform integrations – ensuring that four secure data access settings can interoperate: Data CO-OP, AURIN, AARNet’s Advanced Research and Education Network and Sensitive Data service, the Australian Data Archive.
- Training and engagement – enabling CADRE platform users and the wider research community – to raise awareness and capacity to use the platform.
