How municipalities can protect their data with FileCap

Dec 2, 2024

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.

FileCap: Secure and efficient data sharing for municipalities

FileCap offers municipalities a reliable solution for secure and AVG-compliant data sharing, reducing risk and increasing both data security and transparency.

  • End-to-end encryption: Files are encrypted before they leave the organization and only decrypted at the recipient, protecting them from interception.
  • Complete control: Municipalities can manage access rights, revoke access and monitor file-sharing activities, reinforcing security and AVG compliance.
  • Audit logs: FileCap allows for audit logs of access to shared files, which helps with internal controls and reporting to regulators.
  • No file size restrictions: Large documents can be shared quickly and securely, without the limitations of traditional e-mail.
