Secure Board Communication
Boards of directors require efficient communication to establish the company’s goals and assist in achieving those targets. Their communication can reveal sensitive information, including financial data which could be a disaster if the improper hands.
This is why secure board communication is so crucial, particularly as technology changes the way business operates. In order to achieve this, boards must adopt and implement secure collaboration tools such as board portals or real-time communication platforms. It’s also essential for boards to be able to monitor and analyze their own governance performance, including their strategy for secure communication.
A portal for boards, as an example, that allows seamless transition between informal and formal communications channels, such as group chats, emails, and texting, is vital for secure communication. This kind of software will provide a secure, private way to collaborate on documents. It also allows for easy file sharing and real-time discussions. It should come with features that give you granular control over access and deletion, as well as security protocols such as encryption and backup.
In addition to a solid board portal, secure instant messaging and meeting scheduling tools are also important. These tools should be simple to use, similar to popular email, texting or phone applications. They should also include additional security features, for example the ability to blocking messages and preset contacts. They should also send automatic read notifications, and an “view-only attachment” option that prevents downloading, exporting, screen captures and forwarding. In addition it is recommended to back them across geographically dispersed sites to minimize data loss.
