Boardroom Security: Protect Sensitive Information

Email is the Digital Highway for Attackers

The greatest security threat to board work is the continued use of email for document distribution. Email is the most common attack vector for phishing, where attackers trick users into revealing passwords, gaining full access to all board communications. Such a breach can go unnoticed for a long time and be used for industrial espionage, extortion, or insider trading. Sending board documents via email is an unacceptable risk.

In an era with a professionalized threat landscape, this is an invitation to disaster.

Lack of Access Control is a Ticking Time Bomb

When board documents are scattered across various cloud storage folders and email accounts, control is lost. Who really has access to the information? What happens when a board member or an employee leaves? Manual processes for revoking access are notoriously unreliable, and the consequence is that unauthorized individuals can retain access to critical information long after they have left the company.

Without centralized management, complete control is an impossibility.

"In today's landscape, it's not a question of if you will be exposed to cyber threats, but when."

A Secure Board Portal is a Digital Fortress

A dedicated board portal is designed from the ground up to act as a digital fortress for board information. It builds multiple layers of defense, including end-to-end encryption, strong authentication with BankID, and granular, role-based access control. Such a system eliminates the risk of email distribution and ensures that only the right people have access to the information.

This is the only defensible way to handle the board's documents.
