Secure Communication for Public Authorities

Tailored communication solution for city administrations, ministries, police, and fire departments – with the highest security and full GDPR compliance.

The Challenges of Modern Communication in Public Authorities

Complex structures, numerous employees, and different departments: public authorities face the daily task of enabling fast and smooth information exchange while adhering to the highest data protection standards. Conventional communication channels quickly reach their limits here.

Sensitive Data in Daily Exchange

Public authorities process personal and confidential information daily, which requires special protection and must be exchanged in compliance with GDPR.

Risks from Shadow IT

Without a secure alternative, employees often use private messengers for work purposes, causing significant security risks and compliance issues.

Integrating Mobile Employees

Employees without a fixed office workplace must be securely and efficiently integrated into communication processes – email is often too slow and cumbersome for this.
