Digital Transformation, the path to Modern Governance

Today’s world is digital-first. Successful organisations embrace technology and harness the power of data driving efficiencies and mitigating risk through greater strategic insight across all levels of the business. By embracing digital tools, modern boards will reap the benefits and become more agile, adaptable, secure and effective.

The Benefits of Digital Transformation

A culture of strong digital governance lays the foundations for continued growth and success. The digitisation of your company and board practices will have a significant long-term impact in these key areas:

Increased Efficiency

For directors serving on one or multiple boards, digitally transforming board practices brings both better organisation and greater conveniences.
  • Receive real-time updates across devices from anywhere
  • Ensure meeting time is devoted to rich discussions and critical informed decisions are made​
  • Make critical decisions based on the most relevant and up-to date facts, delivered in real-time​

Mitigating Cyber Risk

Most publicly available collaboration tools are not designed for sharing confidential information. By contrast, a digital governance solution should offer boards cutting-edge cyber security and system management, such as:
  • At least 256-bit encryption at rest, in transit and on users’ devices
  • Regular vulnerability scanning of the infrastructure, automated security scanning of the service, and application and network penetration testing
  • A provider that has experienced no known data breaches

Improved Crisis Response

A board with the tools to improve their visibility and distribute information more quickly, easily and safely is in a much stronger position when facing a crisis. A centralised digital solution allows Boards to:
  • Collaborate securely with other board members and, if needed, the C-suite or external partners​
  • Establish control and set permissions on who can view certain information, and provide a unified view across entities and departments
  • Receive all the information they need in order to make fast decisions in the event of a crisis
