The mission of Simply Secure is to educate the public on the principles and practice of researching and responding to real-world user needs for software.
GENERAL PROGRAM ACTIVITIES including producing educational resources and performing community outreach. Educational resources are made freely available online and include case studies, reviews, and reports on research that we have conducted into design and usability for security, privacy, and transparency features of software. Community outreach includes building professional connections among the communities that are primary partners for and beneficiaries of our work (technologists, designers, researchers, program managers and policy-makers) through online meetings, at a variety of professional and scholarly gatherings and online.
UNDEREXPOSED: A conference that we hold in the fall, at which we convene designers, researchers, technologists, and program managers to discuss the challenges of building collaboration between technologists and user-experience experts around security, privacy, transparency, and ethical features of software. We shared highlights from the conference publicly, and have heard from a number of participants that the experience helped them in subsequent activities at their respective institutions (a mix of public and private, for-profit and charitable).
FELLOWSHIPS: Support of research work being performed by our Open Technology Fund Fellows, who perform research and community-building activities. These fellows' primary funding comes from OTF, but each has a modest allocation of our budget to cover use of equipment, user-study participant incentives, attendance at scholarly meetings, and other research-related costs. This program has resulted in research reports which have been or will be made publicly available for free through our website.
