Account protection
Within GOB, account protection is treated as part of digital security across public and administrative systems. The project is designed to make this area useful to participating organizations through clear responsibilities, documented processes and a realistic understanding of available capacity. The aim is not to create ceremonial activity, but to help organizations become easier to understand, better prepared to cooperate and more capable of using opportunities that fit their own mission.
Implementation should remain consistent with the wider GOB framework. That means preserving the legal independence of member organizations, distinguishing project roles from public authority, protecting confidential information and avoiding promises that depend on an external partner, funder or institution. Where a programme, appointment or benefit is still under development, the public website should describe the direction accurately rather than presenting it as an established result.
- Clear scope for account protection
- Documented responsibility and follow-up
- No unsupported claims or implied public authority
