Here's how to prevent a small mistake from costing millions of euros

The real costs of "small" mistakes

In short: you can be fined more than 3,000,000 euros. Your CISO will have to put down all his or her work to limit the damage. This can take weeks. And then there are legal costs, and the damage to your reputation.

Earlier on this page we wrote “bcc” when we actually meant “cc”. Most people will easily read over this. The company that this happened to is just one of hundreds of thousands of organizations that have to pay for the high costs of a data breach every year.

SITUATION

A secure email solution was already used within Novadic-Kentron. Unfortunately, this solution didn't always work.

PROBLEM

As a healthcare organisation, the challenge was to find a solution that actually works in order to share sensitive, patient data.

SOLUTION

"I actually looked for a package that has everything on the green light," says Stefan.

SITUATION

For the municipality of Zeist, it was time to find an answer to the question: "Are there no better e-mail solutions on the market?

PROBLEM

The current solution did what it was supposed to do, but was not user-friendly. Every user, no matter how tech-savvy, should be able to work with it with ease.

SOLUTION

With SmartLockr, user-friendliness and secure communication come together: work processes within the municipality are simplified!

SITUATION

VKG handles the administration and claims processing for many insurers and lenders, working with hundreds of consultants; in practice that means a lot of e-mail traffic!

PROBLEM

Security of data is paramount at VKG. With so many consultants, there is a lot of communication via email, so that makes secure data emailing a priority.

SOLUTION

“SmartLockr allows us to securely send personal data via email.”

SITUATION

As market leader in child care, Partou wants to focus all of its energy on providing good care. Protecting a child's data, although not a core staple of any daycare centre, was clearly an important issue.

PROBLEM

It wasn't just the prospect of monetary losses, but also the reputational damages and the need to provide children with adequate protection that led Partou to choose for secure emailing. Only problem, they were in the midst of a merger.

SOLUTION

Partou benefitted from a smooth onboarding process, aided by their personal Customer Success Manager. The fact everyone at Partou is positive about using SmartLockr doesn't hurt either.

SITUATION

Het Zand is a healthcare organization that was looking for a solution so people could communicate easily and securely.

PROBLEM

There was no solution for secure emailing. And then people started looking for "creative" solutions that didn't help with data security.

SOLUTION

"The most important thing was to find a solution, which eventually everyone can work with. We see that users can work with SmartLockr."

SITUATION

The Korian Group guarantees qualitative elderly care and currently has 50 locations within the Netherlands, a number that will significantly increase in the coming years.

PROBLEM

Korian has only recently added the Netherlands to their portfolio where secure emailing is not just a ‘nice to have’, but a legal requirement. So, where do you begin?

SOLUTION

"As a system administrator, I was able to experience the onboarding of SmartLockr first-hand. I have previously worked with other software solutions and the SmartLockr experience couldn't be more different: weekly updates by phone, and you think in solutions, not in problems."

SITUATION

Secure emailing is very important to Cedrah, but as a healthcare provider, the email solution was often dependent on other parties.

PROBLEM

At a certain point, sending data securely "required" the use of up to 5 different applications.

SOLUTION

"SmartLockr allowed us to get back in the driver’s seat and bring the number of applications back to one."

SITUATION

Safety must be ensured at Wender, both in the shelter they provide for vulnerable people, and in protecting the privacy of their clients.

PROBLEM

Their current contract for secure emailing was ending, and their provider could not guarantee a new contract compliant with the NTA 7516. They needed another solution quickly.

SOLUTION

"With 600 employees, both secure and simple emailing is a must. SmartLockr not only met NTA 7516 conditions but was also easy to use and affordable."
