My takeaways:

1/ 🔐 Embed security into dev: tools like Uwazi need to be reliable components of HRDs’ digital defenses even if built by orgs like HURIDOCS that aren't #digisec org per se

📚 Two findings really stood out, especially for HURIDOCS:

Finding 4: Real digital security is more than #digisec specific tools, it must be baked into dev processes of ALL human rights tech.

Finding 5: We need infrastructure that’s affordable, offline-capable, and in local languages.
