COMPLIANCE FOR PUBLIC SECTOR

Sigaba Secure Messaging Products and Solutions are FIPS certified
Like their counterparts in private industry, governments and government agencies must follow specific security regulations. Agencies have strict policies and procedures mandating how employees can communicate and share - or even if they can share - information via email or IM.

The regulations governing compliance are many and varied, depending on the country, region, province, state or municipality. For example, the European Union’s Data Protection Directive specifies the protection of individuals with regards to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data. The US Government’s Department of Defense Directive 8500.1 requires that technology measures be installed to protect data communications from internal and external threats.

Sigaba Secure Messaging is certified for 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit cryptographic algorithms, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of all electronic communications sent over the Internet or wireless LANs. Outbound messages are encrypted and inbound messages decrypted based on organization-defined policies and an automatic key retrieval system. The process is fast, completely transparent and simple for end users. The system works with any authentication method and uses the SAML standard to build a network of trust through federated identity-based authentication.
