UNDSS PSA Tool vs bdwashdata

The Physical Security Assessment tool aims to provide UN security professionals with a structured, agile and comprehensive approach to the assessment of physical security of UN premises and offer a menu of suitable risk management measures. It will also update the existing Premises Database to support the mandate of the Division of Regional Operations (DRO) and the Physical Security Unit (PSU) in terms of information collection and analysis. This is a live beta release of the app. It is to be used by UNSMS security professionals only as a part of the operationalization of the app. The tool includes the following: - Detailed physical description of a premises into its constituent parts, including boundary types, structure types, construction material and occupancy; - A detailed assessment of physical security elements with respect to: * Perimeter Protection * Blast Protection/Structural resistance control * Access control * Electronic Security * Safety/Fire Safety/Response - Integration with the Security Risk Management (SRM) e-Tool and the Safety and Security Incident Recording System (SSIRS) data; - Full integration with the physical security “Menu of Options” to ensure proper assessment of existing mitigation measures and identification of necessary mitigation measures. In order to take full advantage of the tool, users are required to have a UNSMIN account. Once the information is collected through the App, it should be uploaded to UNSMIN for analysis and preparation of a report.

The bdwashdata app is a powerful and user-friendly mobile platform designed to support both public access to WASH information and secure field data collection for authorized organizations. The app provides publicly accessible pages where users can view key Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) data, dashboards, and visual insights without requiring login. These public sections allow researchers, policymakers, development partners, and citizens to explore important WASH indicators, including arsenic monitoring dashboards, survey summaries, and other data visualizations presented through an integrated WebView. In addition to public data access, bdwashdata includes secure functionality for authorized NGO employees who use the system for structured field data collection and management. These users log in through a protected admin section, with accounts created and managed by organization administrators via a web based admin panel. Key Features include: Public WASH Data Access View WASH dashboards, arsenic data, and survey visualizations and report facilities that are being currently tracked without login. Public users can explore real time insights immediately after installing the app. Offline and Online Data Collection Authorized users can collect WASH related data in remote and resource constrained environments. Data is stored locally on the device and automatically synchronized once internet connectivity is restored. Geo Tagging and Mapping Capture GPS coordinates for water sources, sanitation facilities, and hygiene interventions and other WASH infrastructure as setup by admins. Collected data can be visualized on interactive maps to support planning and decision making in the web admin panel Real Time Data Validation Built-in validation rules help improve data quality by reducing errors and ensuring consistent data standards across teams and locations. Offline Forms Continue collecting data without internet access during field visits. Photo Documentation Capture and upload photos directly from the field to document WASH conditions and infrastructure, adding visual context to monitoring and reporting. Secure and Encrypted Access All administrative features are protected with secure authentication and industry standard encryption. Only authorized users can access, edit, or sync data, ensuring data integrity and privacy. The bdwashdata app does not include any in-app purchases or paid content. Public users can freely access available WASH data, while administrative and data collection features remain restricted to authorized NGO users. This combination of public data transparency and secure organizational access makes bdwashdata a reliable platform for WASH information sharing and field operations management.
