Expert Reviewer Profile & Sign-off

Evaluation Criteria Ratings (1 - 4 Scale) 1: Not Met | 2: Partially Met | 3: Largely Met | 4: Fully Met

1

Technical soundness of the proposed security architecture

Evaluates the robustness of encryption, role-based access, automated audit logs, backup routines, and intrusion resistance.

2

Adequacy of the proposed data governance structures and policies

Evaluates whether clear decision rights, data ownership, data steward roles, validation rules, and accountability mechanisms are well defined.

3

Feasibility of implementation given the DVA’s staffing and resources

Evaluates whether the framework is realistic, practical, and implementable within the DVA’s actual operational budget and human resource capacity.

4

Alignment with national cybersecurity policy and international data protection standards

Evaluates harmony with Uganda Data Protection & Privacy Act 2019, NITA-U NISF 2026, NIST CSF 2.0, and ISO/IEC 27001.

5

Coverage of the vulnerabilities identified during the requirements analysis

Evaluates how comprehensively the framework directly closes the duplicate records, missing files, unauthorized edits, and retrieval delays.

6

Practicality of the capacity-building and training components

Evaluates whether staff training curricula, security awareness programs, and role-specific modules are actionable and effective.

7

Clarity and usability of the proposed implementation roadmap

Evaluates the 3-year phased implementation timeline, milestones, quick wins, and risk mitigation strategies.

8

Adequacy of provisions for secure interoperability with partner agencies

Evaluates secure gateway protocols and APIs for exchanging verified data with MoFPED (IFMS), Ministry of Health, and UPDF HQ.

9

Overall confidence that the framework, if adopted, would improve data integrity and service delivery

Summative expert assessment on whether the framework delivers the expected research outcomes and enhances veteran welfare.
