Application of Distributed Systems in Whistleblowing A feasibility study of a decentralized whistleblowing platform
(Hochschule für Wirtschaft FHNW, 2020) Habbabeh, Ali; Asprion, Petra
Whistleblowing is an effective tool to fight corruption and expose wrongdoing in governments and corporations. Insiders who are willing to come forward and report misconduct, called whistleblowers, often seek to reach a recipient who can disseminate the relevant information to the public. However, whistleblowers face many challenges to protect themselves from retaliation when using the existing centralized whistleblowing platforms. This study discusses several associated risks of whistleblowing when using the existing centralized whistleblowing platforms. Then, this study proposes an alternative, decentralized, software-based solution to mitigate these risks. Following the Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM), this study presents a prototype of a whistleblowing platform in which whistleblowers can share their disclosures anonymously in a marketplace-like manner. The developed prototype consists of a combination of distributed systems, namely Blockchain, Smart Contracts, Distributed File Synchronization and Sharing (DFSS), and Distributed Domain Name systems (DDNS). Client-side encryption was utilized to secure the communication between the whistleblowers and third parties. Domain experts then evaluated this prototype and confirmed that the prototype fulfills the requirements to mitigate the risks of whistleblowing compared to the existing platforms. Simultaneously, one expert held concerns about the selected public blockchain, namely Ethereum, and recommended the use of more privacy-preserving blockchains.

Data privacy assessment: an exemplary case for higher education institutions
(International School for Social and Business Studies, 2019) Habbabeh, Ali; Schneider, Bettina; Asprion, Petra
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which has become applicable in May 2018, obliges companies and thus Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to (re)assess their data privacy procedures in particular the processing of personal data. As the new law unfolds an extraterritorial scope, HEIs located outside the European Union (EU) also need to examine whether they are affected, and, if so, take the necessary measures. There is a lack of discussion and approaches in the current literature as to how HEIs can comply with the GDPR regulations. The aim of this study is therefore to analyse scientific publications in order to deliver two results: Firstly, consolidated relevant recommendations and requirements in the context of GDPR, and, secondly, an instrument to help HEIs to raise their GDPR awareness. The latter was built by applying design science guidelines and resulted on a whole of 44 controls that yield a total score. The resulting value can serve as an indicator of a HEI's accordance with GDPR regulations. In addition, the compiled controls can be used as a management instrument to assess the measures taken and to continuously promote compliance with GDPR.

Data Privacy Compliance GDPR Assessment Tool for Higher Education Institutions in Switzerland
(Hochschule für Wirtschaft FHNW, 2018) Habbabeh, Ali; Asprion, Petra; Institute for Information Systems, HSW FHNW, Olten
Most of the Swiss universities have students and employees from the EU. Therefore, they are under the scope of GDPR, a data privacy act that was introduced in March 2018. Therefore, every Higher education institution in Switzerland, must take steps into the journy of compliance with GDPR, which will also help them in preparing for the new Federal Swiss data privacy act that will take place in 2019. Up till now, there is no tool that allows universities in Switzerland to check their GDPR compliance. Therefore, this study aims to cover that gap.

Real World Data - Technologies, Research Questions and Applications - Study in Cooperation - School of Business & School of Life Science
(Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz FHNW, 2019) Grimberg, Frank; Asprion, Petra; Schneider, Bettina; Miho, Enkelejda; Babrak, Lmar; Habbabeh, Ali
In this research report of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW), a classification of ‘Real World Data’ into the research landscape takes place. In addition, an identification of the still open research questions is done based on the fundamental principles and properties. The manifold potential of this relatively new data set is illustrated by a presentation of the already existing but also conceivable future application possibilities. Finally, the contribution of the FHNW, based on its specific competencies, to the further application of the dataset is shown.

The real-world data challenges radar: a review on the challenges and risks regarding the use of real-world data
(Karger, 2021) Grimberg, Frank; Asprion, Petra; Schneider, Bettina; Miho, Enkelejda; Babrak, Lmar; Habbabeh, Ali
Background: The life science industry has a strong interest in real-world data (RWD), a term that is currently being used in many ways and with varying definitions depending on the source. In this review article, we provide a summary overview of the challenges and risks regarding the use of RWD and its translation into real-world evidence and provide a classification and visualization of RWD challenges by means of the RWD Challenges Radar. Summary: Based on a systematic literature search, we identified 3 types of challenges – organizational, technological, and people-based – that must be addressed when deriving evidence from RWD to be used in drug approval and other applications. It further demonstrates that numerous different aspects, for example, related to the application field and the associated industry, must be considered. A key finding in our review is that the regulatory landscape must be carefully assessed before utilizing RWD. Key Messages: Establishing awareness and insight into the challenges and risks regarding the use of RWD will be key to taking full advantage of the RWD potential. As a result of this review, an “RWD Challenges Radar” will support the establishment of awareness by providing a comprehensive overview of the relevant aspects to be considered when employing RWD.
