Secure board management is vital to making directors able to be the leaders in achieving their organisation’s mission. Cloud-based board portals enable organizations to save and share sensitive information without the dangers of old sharing methods, like email. Directors can access their documents secure and effortlessly on any device, no matter if it’s prior to or after the meeting.

All board members have access to one platform to work on documents and to conduct meetings. Information can be accessed, and retrieved at any time from any device using a powerful search feature. Directors can stay current on board matters on the go.

Board portals can be customized to provide granular control over permissions for folders and files, and also provide an audit trail that tracks all activity. They can be secured with data encryption both in transport and at rest, remote wipe of lost devices as well as a robust business continuity plan as well as an uptime assurance. They should offer 24/7 assistance board management software and vdr by knowledgeable staff, and have strong security procedures which include regular penetration tests by third parties, the SOC 2 Report and ISO 27001 Certification.

Look for a dedicated portal for your board that offers a single platform for all of your board’s activities. Not just meetings but also support and research functions like briefing reports and deadlines. This allows all of your critical functions to be handled in one place, removing the need for email exchanges between the board secretary and the report writer and board secretaries. It also eliminates the risk of security when sending confidential documents by email.
