Secure board management is key to giving directors the ability to take the lead in meeting their organization’s goals. Cloud-based board portals enable organizations to store and share sensitive data without the dangers of old sharing methods, such as email. No matter if it’s before a meeting or between meetings, directors can access documents quickly and securely from any device, no matter where they are located in the world.

With dedicated software for board members, the same platform can be utilized by all board members to collaborate on documents for the company and conduct meetings. Information is accessible and searchable anytime from any device using a powerful search function. Directors can stay informed on board issues when they travel.

Board portals can be configured to provide granular control over the permissions of folders and documents as well as an audit trail that tracks every single activity. They are protected by data encryption both in transit and in the rest of the device, remote wipe of lost devices as well as a robust business continuity plan and an uptime assurance. They should also provide 24/7 support from experienced internal staff, and robust security processes including regular penetration testing by a third party and an SOC 2 report and ISO 27001 certification.

Look for a board portal that can provide a single platform to manage all your board’s functions – not only meetings but also research and support like deadlines and briefing reports. This allows all your critical functions to managed in one place, eliminating the need for back and forth emails between report writers, board secretaries and the security risks of sending confidential documents via email.
