How Dafira protects board information

The security measures built into the platform, and the partners we rely on for hosting, electronic signature and document processing.

Measures

Security built into the platform

Controls that protect board documents, discussions and decisions.

Hosted on Microsoft Azure

Dafira runs on Microsoft Azure’s cloud platform and benefits from its security measures.

Data protection

Data protection practices aligned with GDPR requirements and industry standards.

Encryption

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Multi-factor authentication

A one-time code sent by SMS adds a second step to the password before a user can open board information.

How it works

Role-based access control

Access is managed by role, with an audit trail of activity.
