In the digital age, ensuring the security of business communications is paramount, especially when sensitive information is involved. Cloud-based tools have become the norm for facilitating business discussions, but not all platforms are created equal in terms of security. As you navigate the options, understanding the features that contribute to a secure communication environment is critical. Encryption, user authentication, and data sovereignty are some of the key aspects you should look for to protect your business's confidential discussions.

1 Secure Messaging

When it comes to exchanging sensitive information, secure messaging is a fundamental feature of cloud-based communication tools. Look for services that offer end-to-end encryption, which means that only you and the recipient can read the messages. This prevents potential eavesdroppers from intercepting and deciphering the content of your communications. Additionally, ensure that the tool has robust user authentication processes to prevent unauthorized access, and consider if the service offers message self-destruction for added privacy.

A secure cloud-based communication tool will provide the tools required to create and enforce the conditional access policies to collaborate within the group. The tool must be able to work as an identity provider proxy to authenticate the user and the devices accessing the sign-in portal. The tool must then properly authorize the user and the device to access the secured collaboration platform. The tool must also be able to provide data labeling service to allow only authorized users to see the secured data. The tool must allow read-only during the session and or edit to a few members. A location-based control would also be in place and during the session you must have adaptive protection if someone's risk changes during the call.

2 Data Protection

Protecting your data within cloud-based platforms involves more than just encryption. You should seek out tools that provide comprehensive data protection measures, including regular security audits and compliance with industry standards. The tool should have a clear data retention policy and offer the ability to control where your data is stored to comply with data sovereignty laws. Moreover, it's beneficial if the tool has features for data loss prevention, such as the ability to retract messages or prevent file downloads.

3 Video Conferencing

Video conferencing has become a staple for remote and hybrid business models. Secure cloud-based video conferencing tools should offer encrypted connections and meeting access controls, such as password protection and waiting rooms. These features help ensure that only invited participants can join your meetings. The ability to lock meetings once they've started and control screen-sharing permissions are also important for maintaining the confidentiality of discussions.

4 File Sharing

Sharing files is often a necessary part of business communication, but it can pose a risk if not done securely. Choose cloud-based tools that encrypt files both in transit and at rest, minimizing the chance of unauthorized access. The ability to set permissions and expiration dates for shared files can further enhance security. Additionally, consider whether the tool allows for secure collaboration on documents, which can reduce the need to send files back and forth.

5 Compliance Assurance

For businesses in regulated industries, compliance with legal and regulatory standards is non-negotiable. Cloud-based communication tools that are designed with compliance in mind can help you meet these requirements. Look for tools that are certified against standards such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). These certifications indicate that the tool adheres to strict privacy and security regulations.

6 Access Control

Finally, controlling who has access to various levels of information within your organization is crucial. The most secure cloud-based communication tools allow for granular access controls, enabling you to define roles and permissions for different users. This ensures that employees only have access to the information necessary for their roles, reducing the risk of internal data breaches. Additionally, features like two-factor authentication (2FA) add an extra layer of security when accessing the platform.

Access control policy should be reviewed frequently. Because it is not just access that is constantly evolving, but the controls we use to manage access can become functionally obsolete over time. It is imperative upon those who control the access to participate in policy discussions so they are not only active in implementation but they understand the why.
