Data Compliance for U.S. Board Management Solution Users

BoardCloud's Data Compliance

With various data compliance laws across the United States, acting in accordance with such laws is vital for a board management solution, including BoardCloud.

Key U.S. Data Compliance Laws

Several laws govern how data is handled, stored, and shared in the United States. These laws are designed to protect individuals' privacy and ensure that organizations maintain secure data practices:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (applies globally but is relevant to U.S. companies working with EU citizens)
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA): Protects the privacy rights of California residents and mandates businesses to disclose how they collect, use, and share personal information.
• Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA): Focuses on protecting sensitive health information and ensuring that healthcare organizations and their partners follow strict data privacy standards.
• Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA): Governs how financial institutions manage customers' personal information, requiring strict measures for data protection.
• Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX): Enforces transparency in corporate governance and financial practices, ensuring data integrity for publicly traded companies.

Data Compliance and BoardCloud

Our solution incorporates industry-standard security measures, allowing your organization to focus on decision-making without worrying about compliance risks. Here's how BoardCloud ensures compliance:

1. Encryption and Secure Storage: All sensitive board documents and communications are stored with end-to-end encryption, ensuring that unauthorized parties cannot access them. Our servers comply with stringent data privacy standards to ensure data remains protected both in transit and at rest.

2. Access Controls and Permissions: With BoardCloud, you can assign role-based access controls, ensuring that only authorized users can view or modify sensitive information. This meets the requirements of laws like HIPAA, which mandates restricted access to sensitive data.

BoardCloud provides detailed audit logs, enabling you to track every action taken within the platform. These audit trails can be crucial in compliance audits, providing documentation of your board's decision-making processes.
