The SAIL Databank is powered by the UK Secure e-Research Platform (UKSeRP).
Following approval through safeguard processes, access to project-specific data
within the secure environment is permitted using two-factor authentication.,
Data provision is free from SAIL. Overall project costing depends on the number
of people that require access to the SAIL Gateway, the activities that SAIL
needs to complete (e.g. loading non-standard datasets), data refreshes,
analytical work required, disclosure control process, and special case
technological requirements.
