“In my view, the approach to security must be systematic and ingrained to the point of becoming automatic. Just as we wake up in the morning and brush our teeth, adhering to digital hygiene rules should be equally automatic. Human rights organizations must act responsibly — for their own sake and for the sake of those they help.”

- Before starting the course, take some time to reflect on what risk management process means to you and why you would need it in your work. Think also of possible obstacles you may face when setting up the process.
Main takeaways:
- Physical, digital, and psychological security are interconnected and should be managed collectively rather than in isolation, especially in the context of risk management.
- Security requires continuous assessment, prioritization, and adaptation to evolving threats, ensuring effective mitigation strategies tailored to your specific context.
