The Risk of Third-Party Clouds
Most Board Portals work by storing your data in their cloud service providers, with their tool acting as a liaison between you and your documents.
This works well for many organizations, but for those who have existing local infrastructure or simply want to keep their most valuable materials in-house, an on-premises solution is needed.
No matter how large and secure cloud services claim to be, too often there are lapses that lead to third-party data breaches.
The Solution: Integration, Not Separation
Board Papers installs directly on your SharePoint 2019 server, linking it with all of your corporate resources from the get-go. This eliminates the "middleman" server entirely.
After installation, it only takes a few minutes to create and deploy meetings to your board. Our end-user application is simple and powerful, enabling your board members—no matter how technologically savvy—to understand and review materials immediately.
Uncompromising Device Security
The high level of security of your server is continued onto the end-user devices. We lock down materials through multiple robust measures:
- Lockbox Intervals: Control how long data remains accessible offline.
- Biometric Authentication: Leverage FaceID and TouchID.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Add an extra layer of identity verification.
- High-End Encryption: Industry-standard encryption methods for data at rest.
- Remote Permission Controls: Ability to wipe data remotely if a device is lost.
Even if a board member misplaces their device, it would be impossible for someone to access the meetings in Board Papers.
Keep Your Existing Infrastructure
One of the key benefits of a Microsoft-based board solution is that it keeps all your existing infrastructure in place. Administrators do not need to learn a new interface or set up dozens (or hundreds) of user accounts with custom passwords.
You are able to keep your permission structure the same, whether that is local to SharePoint or in Azure AD.
For Board Members: Simply add them to your directory (perhaps with MFA already turned on), assign them to specific boards or committee groups in Board Papers, and they can start using the device right away.
Conclusion: Simplicity and Control
Adopting a new tool shouldn't create more work for your IT team or confusion for your board. The power of Board Papers is its simplicity.
By installing on your existing SharePoint 2019 server or M365 tenant, you eliminate redundant administration:
- Your directors get a simple, powerful app.
- Your administrators manage permissions from one place.
- Your security team can rest easy knowing all data remains 100% within your environment.
Move beyond the risks of third-party clouds. Board Papers delivers total control and a seamless user experience.
