Guide: Secure data exchange – how to find the right software
With criteria catalogue, checklist and action steps.
Free Guide
Finding the right software for secure data exchange is no easy task. Many vendors promise the perfect solution. This guide explains what makes a good software solution – and how to recognise one.
What to expect in the guide
Over 92 per cent of German companies already use solutions for secure data exchange – but many rely on historically grown point solutions that run alongside each other rather than working together. The result: gaps in audit trails, shadow IT and a high administrative burden that falls on IT teams already stretched for resources.
This guide provides a framework for evaluating software: with a 12-point criteria catalogue for vendor assessment, a practical checklist to take into meetings and concrete questions to ask at your next demo.
12 criteria that make the difference
For a software decision to be more than an educated guess, you need the right questions. What organisations are looking for is clear: a high security standard, GDPR compliance, ease of use, fast deployment. The gap appears where these requirements are known but never systematically tested during vendor evaluation.
The guide sets out the twelve questions you should put to every vendor. Four areas are covered: security and technology, compliance and auditability, features and integration, and implementation and operations.
