Regarding privacy and cyber security controls: in the application architecture blueprint by default in order to comply with the increasingly demanding National and European regulatory environment, e.g. GDPR. A fundamental requirement for the secure design, build and operation of a contemporary social network, is the design and implementation of a Next Generation Information Security Management System (NG-ISMS). Based on the de facto security industry standard ISO/IEC 27000 series of security standards, the NG-ISMS has at its core i) a modular security architecture, ii) the establishment of a security policy, iii) the performance of a continuous risk assessment and the effective management of the resultant risks, iv) the selection and implementation of management, technical and physical security controls and v) the certification of the network in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001:2013, and taking into consideration ISO/IEC 27017:2015 cloud security controls and ISO/IEC 27018:2014 cloud privacy and ISO/IEC 27701:2019 privacy information management system extension, since the initial core services will be offered from the cloud.

Sustainability of the SNP
The hybrid of ICT and direct participation of individuals, entities and the community provides a framework able to attract, motivate, engage and support individuals and entities to connect to the proposed SNP.
Given the non-profit profile of the business there are two kind of “customers”: these interested on the process (investors, donors, supporters) and these interested on the final product/ services (members of the MENTALWORLD open community).
In this point of view must be attractive for both customer groups, institutional stakeholders (State, Foundations, CSR programs as responding in their current needs or social sensitivities) and members ofthe MW platform (individuals or entities “consuming” the content and services provided by participating and exploiting the MW platform features). This second not typical “consumer profile” creates the potential to make MW attractive to the first “customer” category. So, the MW value proposition is “better MH for a better society (and vice-versa)”.
