“Sync & Share” - Business Continuity Management (BCM) Solution with TeamDrive

Another sample of utilizing the secure sync&share technology from TeamDrive was demonstrated by our reseller partner "No Limit IT-Services" at the CeBIT show in Hannover Germany earlier this month.  "No Limit IT-Services" presented a secure and cost efficient solution for the IT Contingency Plan (IT-Notfallplanung 2.0)

TeamDrive makes it possible to replicate contingency plans, and other documentation, regarding risk factors in order for them to be readily available offline in emergency situations. More than ever, a company’s ability to act is determined by the constant availability of its data. The IT Contingency Plan, also a part of the Business Community Management (BCM), gains more and more relevance and importance in today’s business world. Utilizing appropriate safety strategies should therefore be a standard action. On the basis of synchronization, NoLimit IT has developed various solutions for  IT Contingency Plan solutions. The secure and reliable “Sync & Share” solution from TeamDrive offers the advantage that the data are automatically encrypted, using AES 256-bit encryption, before being uploaded. All this is done without the user having to worry or press any extra buttons. This ensures that no unencrypted data leaves the machine and that the data cannot be, under any circumstances, accessed by unauthorized persons. The synchronized and encrypted data are always available to you at any of your favorite workstations and even available for use offline. 

The US law enables the US government to snoop on Europeans’ data held with US cloud providers without needing to obtain a warrant.

The European Parliament has had a hearing regarding the privacy report on the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendment Act (FISAAA) -- AKA US spy law.

Here is the download link to the study of  European Parliament: Fighting cyber crime and protecting privacy in the cloud

This law enables the US government to snoop on Europeans’ data held with US cloud providers without needing to obtain a warrant.

We at TeamDrive are a secure European-based cloud synchronization provider who cares much for the privacy and security demand of our customers. 

Right from the beginning, security has been one of TeamDrive’s top concerns, for both our consumer and enterprise customers. The questions raised about the United States’ FISA act have focused the minds of Europeans keen to share, but only with those they chose. TeamDrive has confirmed that European cloud users want to have data stored under the EU banner, away from the prying eyes of the US government, and TeamDrive’s free choice of server and end-to-end encryption gives them added confidence.

We welcome the findings of European Parliament’s hearing, and we anticipate more news on enterprises banning US-based file-sharing and making TeamDrive their de facto standard.”

TeamDrive is an alternative to US cloud computing giants Dropbox, Box and Google etc. European companies that want to avoid being snooped on by the US government can trust TeamDrive. TeamDrive gives you a free choice of server, plus full end-to-end encryption, plus TeamDrive is based in Germany and is not subject to FISAA.
