Improving Cybersecurity with GoFormz
GoFormz security features can bolster your cybersecurity initiatives
During Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and all year long, the importance of cybersecurity can’t be overstated. With the increasing reliance on digital platforms for data storage and communication, businesses and individuals alike are vulnerable to cyber threats. One often overlooked aspect of cybersecurity is the use of digital forms. Digital and mobile forms play a significant role in data collection, and if you don’t have a trusted platform like GoFormz, you may be putting your captured data at risk. Here we’ll explore some of the GoFormz features you can use to ensure the security of your data.
The Importance of Data Security
Before delving into the role of GoFormz in cybersecurity, it's important to understand why data security plays such a critical role in your organization. Data breaches can have severe consequences, ranging from financial losses to damage to an organization’s reputation. Personal and sensitive information, such as customer data or financial records, must be safeguarded from unauthorized access, theft, or manipulation. As a part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, it’s likely that your InfoSec, IT, or Development teams have brought up trending cybersecurity threats, but this month is a perfect time to explore unique ways that everyone in your organization can help support data security.
Key GoFormz Features to Support Cybersecurity Efforts
In the past, organizations relied heavily on paper forms for data collection and documentation, however, these paper-based systems had several vulnerabilities. Physical forms could be lost, damaged, or stolen, and data entry errors were common. GoFormz offers numerous advantages over traditional pen-and-paper-based forms but also goes a step further in supporting your data security.
Access Control
With GoFormz, you know that your data is limited to just the users within your account. Additionally, GoFormz users can be placed into groups and assigned varying levels of permission, making it even easier to restrict access to your data than ever before.
E-SIGN Act-Compliant Electronic Signatures
Whether you’re working within compliance guidelines for local or industry regulations, or want to ensure a legally binding contract with your customers and vendors, GoFormz gives you the ability to capture E-SIGN Act-compliant electronic signatures, ensuring the validity of your form data.
Automatic Routing and Workflows
Adding additional steps to your data flow can expose new opportunities for cybersecurity threats. If you’re manually re-keying captured data from a fillable PDF into your other data analysis and storage platforms, you’re opening up additional room for errors and unauthorized access to your data. With GoFormz native integrations and automated workflows, you have the ability to automatically route your form data to Cloud storage platforms, CRMs, ERPs, and multiple other diagnostic and analysis tools. While being transferred, all GoFormz data is encrypted, and without manual entry or exposure risks, you can support keeping your data more secure.
Audit Trails
Digital forms with GoFormz can generate detailed audit trails, tracking every interaction with your captured form data. This feature is invaluable for identifying any suspicious activities and providing a clear history of who accessed the information and when.
HIPAA-Compliant Digital Forms
GoFormz offers unique security configurations to meet even the most stringent compliance regulations, including HIPAA-compliant forms. These account settings ensure that some of the world’s most private data, your health data, stays secure and minimizes the risk of cybersecurity threats.
