Security and IT industry regulations
Privacy, security and data-retention rules dominate enterprise communication. Socialcast addresses these critical needs by ensuring compliance with internal and external regulations.
Understanding Your Security and Compliance Needs
Whether you're multinational corporation with dozens of global stakeholders, or a mid-size organization bound by strict industry regulations, Socialcast offers 3 deployment options to meet your unique needs:
Many companies know the benefits that enterprise social software would bring to their employees, but business and industry regulations make choosing a deployment type challenging. Socialcast offers several self-hosted and vendor-hosted options that blend full control with flexibility, meeting the most stringent security needs and also providing quick, simple options that are secure but hosted remotely.
Depending on your security requirements, IT staff involvement, and industry regulations, consider these questions when selecting a deployment method:
- Does your company or industry have policies about access to your database by the SaaS provider?
- Is your company governed by HIPPA, SOX, or EU privacy regulations?
- Are all software deployments at your company currently behind the firewall?
Answering "yes" to any of these questions may mean that a behind the firewall deployment best suits your needs. If your company does not fall into any of these categories, a SaaS deployment will likely meet your communication and security requirements.
