Client case “Het Kandidatennetwerk” describes how a foundation dedicated to youth adds a new level of safety and compliancy.
Challenge: Secure exchange of confidential documents
het Kandidatennetwerk since its founding in 2012, has been developing successful programs to increase the economic and social self-sufficiency of young people for years. One of the successful programs is Social Service Time, or MDT.
An essential part of their work is processing and sharing confidential documents containing information about vulnerable youth. This includes:
- Personal data of youth participating in MDT.
- Evaluations and progress reports with sensitive content
- Collaboration documents with external partners and grant makers
Given the nature of this data and the need to comply with AVG legislation and stricter requirements within the nonprofit sector, there was an urgent need for a secure, efficient and user-friendly document exchange solution.
Solution: secure and controlled document sharing
After an extensive evaluation of several solutions, Stichting Het Kandidatennetwerk chose mSafe, a platform specializing in secure document sharing.
With the implementation of mSafe, the foundation now has:
- Encryption – All shared documents are automatically encrypted
- Scan for viruses – all documents are scanned for viruses and malware
- Strict access control – Only authorized addressees can access shared documents.
- All document exchanges are logged, providing visibility into who, when and how files are opened or shared.
- Ease of use – Employees and partners can easily upload, share and retrieve documents without complex configurations.
Collaborate efficiently with maximum data security
Since implementing mSafe, het Kandidatennetwerk has experienced significant improvements in security and efficiency. With strict access control and end-to-end encryption, the organization can now confidently share sensitive information without risk of data breaches or unauthorized access.
“With Msafe, we can finally cooperate with externals without any worries. We are now sure that sensitive information about young people will not fall into the wrong hands. This gives peace of mind not only to our staff, but also to the youth and their families.”
Danny Della Chiesa, ICT coordinator, het Kandidatennetwerk
In addition, the implementation of Msafe has ensured that the foundation is fully compliant with GDPR, HIPAA and DORA requirements and the stricter regulations surrounding data protection within the grant and healthcare sector.
Future vision: scalable and reliable document security
With the successful implementation of Msafe, Stichting Het Kandidatennetwerk is taking the next step toward a more digitally secure work environment. The organization is looking at further integrations, such as an outlook add in so employees can work within the secure Microsoft domain.
