Datascore: a simple digital trust rating for connected environments
● In a bid to address a lack of indicators for assessing the security of personal data in various environments (home, transport, etc.) two French researchers are developing NumDiag, a diagnostic tool to provide a combined score for the vulnerability of technical, organisational, and human aspects of digital environments.
● “Datascores” generated by NumDiag will take into account a range of criteria, such as data transmission methods, server locations, information on users, accountability for the design of devices and the level of information provided to users.
● A software prototype for NumDiag will be available by the end of 2024, and pilot testing will begin in 2025. Scores generated by the new tool will initially be based on first-party declarations but may later be audited with the possible collaboration of the French data watchdog CNIL. An interview with IT researcher Anne Laurent.
