Secure, location-independent, structured: How a Swiss NGO secures its board work with SecureSafe

Starting point

Netzwerk Asyl Aargau, a Swiss association dedicated to supporting the participation of refugees, was faced with a particular challenge: its board members regularly exchange highly confidential documents, including sensitive information related to health and care. At the same time, many members are frequently on the move, as several also hold public offices. What was needed, therefore, was a solution that combines the highest standards of data security with easy access from anywhere and well-structured collaboration.

Solution

With SecureSafe, the association found a platform that meets these requirements precisely. Today, sensitive data is shared via Team Safes – securely encrypted and inaccessible to third parties or authorities alike.

Thanks to its secure cloud architecture, board members can access documents independently of location or device: on the road with a laptop, at home on a desktop computer, or on mobile devices.

Another key benefit is the support for collaborative work on shared documents. Simple sharing and editing functions allow applications and documents to be prepared jointly, without compromising on security.

Implementation & use

The rollout was straightforward. After a brief familiarisation phase with Team Safes, SecureSafe quickly became an integral part of the board’s day-to-day work.

A clear internal structure was essential: defining who has which access rights, how data is archived, and how the Recovery Sheet is stored securely.

Outcome

Today, the association benefits from secure, efficient, and location-independent collaboration at board level.

In particular, the following aspects are highly valued:

• Maximum data security: even in the event of an attack on the provider, the data remains protected.
• Data protection with full sovereignty: no access for third parties or authorities.
• Flexibility: access to all relevant documents at any time and from any device.
• Extended features such as digital inheritance, ensuring the long-term preservation of important data.

Conclusion: uncompromising data protection that creates freedom

“SecureSafe gives us the level of security we need when handling such sensitive information, without restricting the way we work. We can access our data from anywhere, while knowing it is protected against unauthorised access.”
