Protecting Sensitive Data the Right Way

Whether in care facilities, hospitals, nurseries, or social counselling centres: church organisations manage and share an enormous amount of personal data every single day.

This data requires special protection and demands continuous, state-of-the-art encryption.

The seriousness of the legislator regarding this protection is highlighted by the recent amendment to the KDG-DVO (Implementing Regulation for the Church Data Protection Act): The use of fax for exchanging sensitive data has been officially prohibited, as it does not provide sufficient encryption. Anyone sending data unencrypted—essentially like a "postcard"—now risks severe data breaches and legal consequences.

In this webinar, learn firsthand from Gevorg Stepanyan, CISO of the Stiftung Evangelisches Krankenhaus Düsseldorf (EVK), how he implemented secure data exchange. Plus, experience in a practical live demo how you too can securely encrypt your data transfers and finally say goodbye to the fax machine.
