A renewable energy company needed a contact-sharing app with stringent security features.
A US-based renewable energy company, which prefers to remain anonymous, requires a contact management solution to streamline coordination between their constantly rotating contractors, reporting office, and clients.
Becoming a service provider for a premium client often demands top-tier regards on data security. In this case, the renewable energy company has a long list of questions to qualify candidate vendors.
Being a renowned renewable energy company, they handle highly sensitive data and give utmost value to their team’s privacy. Hence, they were thoroughly scrutinizing how the service provider works including their data management, control processes, and even the competence of relevant personnel.
With their business integrity on the line, their providers must comply with their internal and other external legal requirements for data security.
The renewable energy company’s strict security policy mandates that no third-party provider can host their data, making it difficult to find a provider capable of adhering to such a specific technical requirement. This policy is critical to preventing any potential data leaks, as they place a high priority on safeguarding their confidential database. Despite the robust security measures and highly secure server locations offered by Shared Contacts for Gmail®, the company has maintained its stance on this condition to ensure complete control over its sensitive information.
As a SOC 2 Type II compliant service provider, Shared Contacts for Gmail® meets this renewable energy company’s requirements for the job. It helps make the negotiation easier as there was already an attestation regarding the trustworthiness of data handling and control processes. More importantly, the renewable energy company was offered Shared Contacts on-premise. The corporate version allows contact list synchronization between designated users on all their devices while using the company’s own servers. This added a layer of security to their contact data storage by hosting the solution directly on their private infrastructure. Shared Contacts for Gmail’s technical team installed the Corporate Edition on the renewable energy company’s servers. Their assistance extended up to the point of using the app live.
Shared Contacts ON PREMISE is a corporate version of GSC that gives you a way to add a layer of security to your contact data storage by hosting the solution directly on your infrastructure.
Manage permissions, prevent data loss, track edits, and be compliant with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and AICPA SOC 2.
