Learn in detail why conventional cloud services are problematic for emergency service organisations – and how BOSkom solves these problems.
Authorities and emergency service organisations are subject to special requirements for data protection and information security
WhatsApp (Meta), Telegram and Signal are subject to the CLOUD Act. US authorities can access stored data – even without the knowledge of those affected or the organisation.
The physical server location alone does not guarantee data sovereignty. What matters beyond that are organisation-wide policies, automated structures and complete data isolation at database level.
Even with encrypted content, metadata is collected: who communicates with whom, when, how often and from which location. This data has high informational value.
Conventional messengers are not designed for organisation-wide data isolation. Official and private communication takes place on the same devices – without technical separation at database level.
Without traceable logging, it cannot be proven who accessed which data and when. This is a compliance risk for authorities.
Consumer messengers offer no way to enforce biometric unlock organisation-wide. Each member decides for themselves – a security risk with lost devices.
BOSkom was designed from the ground up for the requirements of emergency service organisations
All data is stored and processed exclusively on servers in Germany. German data protection law applies.
Complete data isolation between organisations through Row Level Security at database level. No cross-organisational access possible.
All data transmission uses TLS 1.3. No unencrypted communication between app, web interface and server.
Data is stored encrypted (Encryption at Rest). Passwords are stored exclusively as cryptographic hashes.
Three-tier role model (User, Manager, Admin) with graduated permissions. Access based on the principle of least privilege.
No data sharing with third countries or third-party providers. No tracking services, no advertising, no data sharing with third parties.
Administrators can enforce biometric app unlock organisation-wide. BOSkom does not store any biometric data – verification occurs exclusively on the device.
With BOSkom, the organisation – not the individual member – determines which security policies apply to every device. Administrators can mandate biometric app unlock via fingerprint or Face ID.
With BOSkom, the organization decides who gets access to the app – not the individual member. No self-registration, no uncontrolled invitations. The admin retains full authority at all times.
