SATRE Architecture

The current version of the architecture can be viewed here.

This Standard Architecture for Trusted Research Environments (TREs) provides a comprehensive high-level architecture for research organisations handling sensitive data safely.

The architecture is documented using the ArchiMate modelling language with models created using the open source modelling tool Archi.

Capabilities an organisation requires to run a TRE are documented and deconstructed to show the elements (Roles, processes, applications and data) needed to realise those capabilities.

The architecture and SATRE standard maps to the architecture meta-model below.

Views are provided aligned to the capabilities and additional views show alignment with external frameworks such as the Five Safes.

The Archimate files are managed in the Architecture Repository.

A report on the architecture is available on zenodo.
