HIPAA field to keep track of datasets with sensitive information. #128

Open DLukacevic-IDM opened 4 years ago

DLukacevic-IDM commented 4 years ago

UPDATE: This task will track the collection of HIPAA info and updating Data Catalog to capture that info. The info will be collected manually by talking to researchers and entered into Data Catalog either manually.

CONTEXT: Per conversation with Rob and Chris Werry, Dropbox and IV have both define special constraints around HIPAA data (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) which includes PHI (Protected Health Information.) and PII (Personally identifiable information).

The action item for this project is to track this information for all datasets. Therefore, we need to add a field and make it required (drop down not a checkbox), so that researchers must declare whether a dataset contains HIPAA data.

In the context of parsing README files, we should be able to produce a report of datasets which don't have such a field in their README, so that we can follow up with maintainers and collect that information.
