EU-DSGVO: User-friendly email solution for companies and institutions
Since May 25, the new GDPR applies to personal customer data of persons in the EU area. Swiss companies and institutions are also obliged to secure the sending of personal data with modern encryption systems.
The European Union's new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been in force since May 25, 2018. It not only includes organizational requirements for the processing of personal data, but also strengthens the rights of private individuals in particular. Companies and institutions based in Switzerland must also comply with the GDPR if they process personal data of individuals from the EU area. Regardless of whether they employ two employees or 5000 - to ensure compliance with the GDPR and to protect data from these individuals, companies and institutions are forced to take technical and organizational measures. From now on, transmitting confidential information unprotected is not only negligent, but punishable by law, with heavy fines of up to 20 million euros. Add to this the fact that parliament is currently drafting a Swiss equivalent to the GDPR. Companies and institutions that have already adapted to the GDPR should have less trouble implementing the new Federal Data Protection Act (DPA).
Protect sensitive data verifiably
The new EU regulation covers any type of information that could, at least theoretically, allow conclusions to be drawn about a specific person. Not only the name, address, date of birth, telephone number, e-mail address or, for example, individual travel plans of customers are protected. Tax identification numbers, account numbers and employee references may also no longer be sent unprotected by e-mail. In addition, data subjects now have a right to information about the personal data collected, processed and transferred by companies and organizations.
