Digitization has led to municipalities increasingly managing sensitive data digitally, such as personal data, facilities information and housing registrations. This presents risks, such as data breaches, which can lead to reputational damage and large fines. FileCap offers a secure and easy-to-use file sharing solution that allows municipalities to effectively protect their data and ensure data privacy.
The importance of data privacy for municipalities
Municipalities are under great pressure to manage personal data securely, as required by the AVG and the BIO. These regulations require them to take measures to ensure privacy and mitigate digital threats. While the guidelines are clear, in practice it often remains challenging to fully comply with all requirements due to the complexity of modern data security.
Risks in managing and sharing municipal data
The exchange of data is indispensable for the daily processes of municipalities, but it also carries significant risks:
- Uncontrolled access: Sensitive data is sometimes shared without adequate access management, which can lead to data breaches or unauthorized access.
- Lack of encryption: Files sent without strong encryption, such as via regular e-mail, are vulnerable to interception.
- Limitations of traditional methods: Commonly used solutions such as standard e-mail and cloud solutions have limitations in file size and security.
- Lack of control: Without an understanding of who has access to what data, it becomes difficult to prevent unauthorized access.
