91% of computer attacks come via email. Regnskap Norge recommends that its member companies use Verji to communicate securely and in compliance with GDPR and has entered into a benefit agreement.
ENCRYPTED, GDPR COMPLIANT AND EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION FOR ACCOUNTING FIRMS
– Secure communication between the accounting business and the customers is crucial to be able to work in compliance with Good Accounting Practice (GRFS) and GDPR. Gathering communication and document exchange in a secure channel makes it easy for the customer and accountant to keep track. It also reduces the risk of erroneous payments from the client’s account (CEO fraud), says Hans Christian Ellefsen, Head of Technology and Innovation in Accounting Norway.
The benefit agreement means that the companies do not have to pay the ordinary start-up cost (NOK 9,990).

WHY AREN’T CONVENTIONAL E-MAILS SECURE?
The Norwegian Data Protection Authority writes on its web site: «Unencrypted e-mail does not go direct from sender to receiver, but via a number of various hubs before arriving at its destination. The communication may be monitored or analyzed ». This explains the reason why 91 % of all cyber attacks come through e-mails and why it is not permitted to send personal data.
Number of cyber attacks trebled from 2019 to 2020!
