Why is security important for a Board Portal

Boards deal with what is often the most sensitive corporate information and it needs to be treated as such at all stages of its life cycle.

Inappropriate release of board data can result in significant reputational harm as well as impacting market standing.

Most board portals do not treat security as a first principals implementation detail, rather it is layered on, forcing compromises as the solution is built out.

This issue was most recently covered by the highly regarded Financial Standard.

How Athena Board is different

Athena Board is built on top of Lockbox Technologies zero-trust storage platform – Lockbox. The security starts at registration and permeates the entire solution but has been implemented in highly sophisticated ways to ensure it does not impact usability or functionality.

Zero Trust is a security framework that mandates stringent identity verification for every user and device attempting to access resources.

Data is stored in such a way that no one, other than the intended recipients of the data can decrypt it. Every piece of data is always stored with multiple levels of encryption – at rest, during transmission and on device.

Security is a holistic element of Athena Board and is integrated into all elements of the solution.

Athena Board ensures that sensitive board data is never in a state where it can be compromised by either internal or external bad actors.
