Conbool supports measures from BSI IT-Grundschutz at the mail and data layer. Conbool does not replace beBPo, EGVP or other legally mandated electronic channels and only complements them in general administrative communication.

Four building blocks for administration.

MailGuard for inboxes, SecureMail for confidential correspondence, SecureFiles for large attachments, Disclaimer for required disclosures.

Typical workflows

Four scenarios from public administration.

From the citizen inbox to inter-agency correspondence.

Protect the citizen inbox

2

Encrypted citizen communication

SecureFiles as a direct line for large case files between agencies, beyond Outlook size limits.
