Description

This issue would recognize the need to be in compliance with HIPAA and the GDPR. Users all of the country will be using this app in order to communicate with first responders. This app will be collecting location data for natural disasters and other types of information from victims/volunteers. It is important that throughout the build of this app, there is a professional audit that checks security protocols. These can include end-to-end encryption, two factor authentication, and third-party access. It would also be important to follow the GDPR because ultimately there may be some European users that are on the app, and it is important to make sure their data is safe when being collected.
