fair.healthdata.be

fair.healthdata.be

The FAIR portal of healthdata.be (https://fair.healthdata.be) is an open-data platform based on the DKAN open-source component on top of the open-source Drupal CMS (Content Management System). FAIR is an acronym of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable and originates from academics and private stakeholders that came to the conclusion that a minimal set of guiding principles and practices would help them to more easily discover, access, appropriately integrate and re-use, and adequately cite, the vast quantities of information being generated by contemporary data-intensive science.

The FAIR principles guide healthdata.be in its ambition to facilitate the re-use of the patient registries and administrative databases in Belgium. Off course with respect for the privacy of the patient, the healthcare professional and the medical confidentiality. With the FAIR portal healthdata.be provides an overview of existing databases with Belgian health and health care related data and aims to steadily make this data discoverable and available to the public to increase public health knowledge.

How to report an incident

How to report an incident

The healthdata.be service (Sciensano) processes each incident report according to a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). A public version of this SOP "HD Incident Management Process" is also available on this portal docs.healthdata.be.

To submit an incident related to projects and applications in production and facilitated or managed by Sciensano's healthdata.be service, you must first log into the HD Service and Support portal: https://sciensano.service-now.com/sp.

After the login step, you will arrive at the main page of the portal.

On the main page, you must select "Get Help".

A new page with the title "Create an incident" will appear.

You can now document your incident or problem by providing the following information:

Please indicate the urgency of resolving your issue based on its criticality to the business.

Please indicate the type of problem you are experiencing.

When the problem type "Application" is selected, two additional fields appear: "Project Name" and "Application".

Please select the appropriate information.

Please describe clearly and briefly (1 sentence) the subject of your problem.

Please describe the problem in detail. The following aspects are important for us to understand and solve the problem:

  • a description of the actions you want to perform but fail to perform (e.g. provide us with a field name, a validation rule, a button, etc.)
  • a description (if possible) of the sequential steps you follow to use the service or the application of healthdata.be for which you need support;
  • a brief description of the technical problem you are experiencing (e.g. error messages)

We strongly recommend that you add a screenshot describing the problem (IMPORTANT: do not provide us with patient data!).

You can add the screenshot by clicking on "Add attachments".

On the right side of the form, the mandatory information items of the incident form are listed. When these fields are completed, their names disappear from the "required information" box.

The form can only be submitted if all required fields are filled in, by pressing the green "Submit" button.

If all required fields have not been completed, a warning message will appear at the top of the form.

In addition, missing mandatory fields will be highlighted in green.

When the incident form has been successfully submitted, a preview of your submission appears in a new screen.

On the right side of the screen you will find the details, including the incident number.

Politique de sécurité des e-mails

Politique de sécurité des e-mails

QUEL EST LE PROBLÈME ?

Nous bloquons les e-mails de votre organisation parce que la configuration de vos services de messagerie et/ou de DNS peut permettre aux spammeurs/pirates informatiques d'en abuser. Plus précisément, votre configuration actuelle permet à d'autres expéditeurs d'usurper l'identité de votre organisation en leur permettant d'imiter le « Header From» de l'e-mail de votre organisation.

En d'autres termes, ils peuvent envoyer des messages de phishing et de spam qu'il est impossible de distinguer des e-mails authentiques de votre organisation.

Si vous êtes responsable de la gestion de votre infrastructure TIC, lisez ce qui suit. Sinon, transmettez ce message à votre département TIC ou au service TIC qui gère votre infrastructure TIC.

COMMENT RÉSOUDRE LE PROBLÈME ?

Vous devez vérifier que votre configuration répond aux exigences de sécurité du « Sender Alignment ». Plus précisément, vos services de messagerie et votre DNS doivent être configurés conformément aux normes TIC.

Ces configurations sont courantes, bien documentées et prises en charge par les hébergeurs :

Nous avons constaté que ce problème est fréquent dans les organisations qui ont déplacé leur infrastructure TIC vers des services en Cloud tels que Microsoft (O365), Amazon, Google et MS Azure sans configurer correctement l'infrastructure TIC (qui n'est pas gérée par ces fournisseurs).

Les configurations et les recommandations doivent être mises en œuvre sur l'infrastructure TIC du client, qu'elle soit interne ou externe. Les DNS et les services de messagerie sont les principales plateformes TIC pour ces actions.

L'UTILISATION DE DIFFÉRENTS DOMAINES LORS DE L'ENVOI D'E-MAILS

Les e-mails contiennent une « Envelope From » et un « Header From ». Les deux doivent correspondre pour éviter que l'e-mail ne soit bloqué.

Quelques exemples :

1. Un service public utilise son nouveau nom de domaine dans le « Header From » en son ancien nom de domaine dans l'« Envelope From ».

  • Envelope From = noreply@publicservice.fgov.be
  • Header From = noreply@publicservice.belgium.be

➔ Ces e-mails seront bloqués.

Remarque : Comme il s'agit d'une adresse « noreply », l'expéditeur ne remarquera même pas que l'e-mail est rejeté.

2. Une organisation utilise un service Cloud (Freshservice) pour son outil d'assistance et l'« Envelope From » n'a pas été modifié.

• Envelope From = bounces+us.3.52773-helpdesk=organisation.be@emailus.freshservice.com
• Header From = helpdesk@organisation.be

➔ Ces e-mails seront bloqués.

3. Une entreprise utilise un service Cloud (Amazon SES) pour envoyer la notification de l'envoi et « Envelope From » n'a pas été modifié.

  • Envelope From = 01020188573f374-96de6437-9134-45f4-8aa6-3e9ac18d5848-000000@euwest-1.amazonses.com
  • Header From = noreply@company.be

➔ Ces e-mails seront bloqués.
