WHAT SHOULD HUMANITARIAN SECURITY PROFESSIONALS EXPECT AS A MEMBER:
private space for humanitarian security professionals
Members-only online discussion platform exclusively for professionals directly involved with Humanitarian Security Management. Membership requirements are refined by Steering Committee and described in Membership Criteria.
authenticated users only
Each membership request is verified individually, after verifying personal identification and eligibility. We rely on power of network to verify candidates in-person, assuring that only eligible professionals have access to Members-only area.
secure discussion platform
We take information security seriously. In addition to individual verification of each member, we ensure high standard of digital security measures are employed, including: hosting by credible SaaS provider, SSL add-on (site served over security HTTPS connection), advanced DNS DDoS protection, and complete DNSSEC support.
Important note: While we make all reasonable efforts to keep the Forum secure, please consider that there is no "impenetrable system". Data of even most powerful and advanced organizations get compromised regularly. Please do not consider this Forum "safer" than your phone conversation or "secure email". 
private rooms for regional or country croups
Regional and Country Security Forums can request dedicated Private Room, with their own administrator and full control over access.
Low profile mobile application
We know Humanitarian Security professionals are mobile, and often operate in sensitive environments. You can access this Forum through "Discourse" mobile forum application, keeping your engagement with the Community low profile and at your fingertips.
option for Anonymous posting
Members can choose to  post or respond anonymously , at their discretion. You may choose to write some post under your username and display others as by anonymous author, as an additional layer protecting your privacy.

​WHAT SHOULD NON-MEMBERS EXPECT AT THIS FORUM:
We are working to design open space for non-Members, to engage with Humanitarian Security Professionals; to ask questions and seek generic information, opinion or advice. This section will be introduced in the next phase of the Forum roll-out, sometimes in 2019.
Please Note: This website brings together information and ideas for your easy reference "as is". While we strive to support in good faith and to the best of our knowledge - opinion of individual Members will be provided "as is", a voluntary support that assumes no responsibility or liability. 

Material here is NOT to be treated as an official reference or advise. Please take ideas expressed as an opinion, to be applied with discretion. ​If you find any information provided to be misleading, insultive, or otherwise inappropriate, please Contact us and we will take steps to address your concern as soon as reasonably possible.
​
On the other hand, we hope that you will find this space effectively meeting its intent - to facilitate sharing of knowledge, information, ideas, and support. Welcome and enjoy!
