Housing associations increasingly communicate digitally with citizens, relations and various government institutions. In addition, a lot of information is shared by e-mail.
These are often (large) files with sensitive data such as name and address details, payslips and copies of passports. Information that neither you as an organization nor the citizen want to fall into the wrong hands.
