Standard Architecture for Trusted Research Environments (SATRE)

The SATRE project provides a Standard Architecture for Trusted Research Environments (TREs). It incorporates knowledge and best practices from multiple institutions and sectors across the UK. This includes all aspects of TRE provision such as information governance procedures, computing technology, data management and other capabilities.

It aims to standardise the capabilities of TREs, making it easier for users, operators, and developers to work with sensitive data, and making the operation of TREs more transparent to data owners and the general public.

This specification should be useful if you are:

  • a TRE Operator wanting to evaluate or improve their TRE with the suggested capabilities
  • a Developer or Builder of new TREs looking for guidance in their thinking and decision making
