This project aided the Organization for Refuge, Asylum, and Migration (ORAM), located in Berlin, Germany, in developing safe practices used to sustain a web-based tool that assists LGBTIQ asylum seekers. We proposed changes for ORAM’s web application and produced a guide that ORAM can use to educate refugees and asylum seekers on protecting their digital data. We also conducted interviews with experts in cybersecurity, data storage, or IT to identify security measures and services for ORAM to safely collect and store refugees’ data. ORAM can use these recommendations to serve itself and its clients.
