The Secure Data Service empowers the work of UK researchers.
We provide secure access to data that are too detailed, sensitive or confidential to be made available under the standard licences operated by our sister service, the Economic and Social Data Service (ESDS).
Secure Data Service data cannot be downloaded. Researchers analyse the data remotely from their institutional desktop or in a safe room. We provide access to statistical and office software to make remote analysis and collaboration secure and convenient.
Our security philosophy is based upon training and trust, leading-edge technology, licensing and legal frameworks, and strict security policies and penalties.
We invite data owners and academic researchers to join our community to enable responsible use of detailed data for high-quality research.
Detailed data from Understanding Society now available to members. Learn more in our Data Library.
A new edition of the Millennium Cohort Study is now available only to Secure Data Service members.
Small Business Survey data provides details on employment, turnover, finances and growth.
Data without Boundaries is opening data to researchers across Europe. Learn more and apply now.
We are part of a community of research professionals in the UK
