As the digital world extends throughout all aspects of our lives, we are becoming more and more aware of how important security is. However, we don’t always take basic measures to ensure it.
Since we started our journey in the world of Document Management Systems, many aspects regarding security have changed. In the beginning, organisations’ main line of defence was to host the Document Management Systems in its own data centres. But this is really quite expensive and, what’s more, it’s less secure than having it in data centres that already have the necessary security measures.
At Athento, we work with both Amazon and OVH; both companies have levels of security that few non-tech organisations can achieve in their own data centres.
Furthermore, we have security policies that we apply to every Document Management Systems that we implement as well as tools that allow us to measure the level of OWASP compliance.
What’s more, of the more than one hundred Document Management Systems implementations that we’ve done, approximately 20% of them have gone through the client’s own security audit.
Below, we summarise the 5 aspects that, according to our experience, we believe are key when implementing security measures in a Document Management Systems:
