Re: [R] Asking about R "Security" ..

Chris replied off list to say he hadn't directed the OP to NHS R Community
so it seems prudent to point a link here for eternity -- because there will
be another NHS Security Audit with questions that don't fit R properly and
the guys in the community may be best placed to answer them

Presumably you've also pointed her to the NHS R community and in particular
is slack group?

There are so many variables in what was even being asked it's going to take
some time to work through, did the mean R or R Studio or R Studio Cloud...
Before any packages..

Fortune nomination (if trimmed a little) ... thanks to Martin, Ivan and 
so many others who never cease to teach me things here!

(As an ex-NHS person who has used R for countless centuries, slowly less 
awfully courtesy of this list and other angeles, I contacted Ms Majid

Actually, people typically ask "the R Foundation" or even
individual RF / R-core members such as me about this ...

... as if we were a company with staff to answer such questions;
but we (volunteering individuals) really do *not* have the time
resources for that,
and consequently, also in my function---shared with another few
individuals---as gatekeeper to the R foundation / R core / R webmaster
e-mail addresses, I typically deflect such questions to the
public web sites *and* public e-mail lists.

The big advantage of this approach is that at least the answers
are findable by web searches in the future, and so, hopefully
have to be answered less frequently by volunteers as you, Ivan,
for whom we are really very grateful.
