Just what we needed, page-190

Covata is due to complete the commercial negotiation with the UK Govt by the end of June 2016.  This opportunity appears to provide a great opportunity in London on 20 June to present their credentials. I am sure that would be aiming to negotiations finalised before this event.

Securing data in the age of government mandates

Monday 20 June 2016 - 18:00 - 20:00
Networking Event


Covata
Join us on Monday evening to hear from Covata’s CEO, Trent Telford, about the importance of securing your data in the age of government mandates and GDPR which comes into force from this year. The talk will be followed by an open bar networking opportunity.

With confirmation of the European GDPR by the European Parliament, organisations – both in the private and public sector – have until 2018 to implement the data security measures needed to ensure compliance. Trent will speak about the core components that are now vital to achieving this. Firstly, encryption is no longer an optional extra – all personally identifiable information (PII) should be encrypted. The second component is identity. True data control involves knowing who has access to what data, when and who is allowed to share it with external parties.  With a comprehensive audit trail for every file, organisations can meet the requirements of the new legislation. Finally,  internal policies that specifically outline exactly how data can be used must be set by businesses and government organisations.

Covata was founded in 2007 with the mission of protecting your data by securing it wherever it resides.

Covata’s Safe Share enables organisations to safely share data by encrypting the file before it is stored in the cloud or shared or distributed into the cloud, onto mobile devices, and through business applications.

Covata Safe Share is available on G-Cloud 7 as a secure file sharing application that is approved for the UK Public Sector. Government agencies rely on Covata to share their sensitive data internally and with external stakeholders.
