The Record - Issue 18: Autumn 2020

101 of course, these measures are second to none in that scenario. When deploying a solution that bridges existing meeting room technologies and Microsoft Teams, data will be shared with a third- party vendor. It is up to this vendor to choose how data is processed, store, and managed. Lately, many virtual meeting solutions have been scrutinised because information is not stored according to commonly expected security protocols, sent offshore, or even resold to other parties. Even simple things such as providing basic desired functionality to join a virtual meet- ing can pose a threat, such as a service needing to read every employee’s calendar. In a world where security and privacy issues are major con- cerns, that is hardly what an organisation wants. Organisations have different requirements and guidelines on how to manage and imple- ment security measures. Adhering to security management best practices, and using, for instance, NSCS’s CSPs as guidance will go a long way in making sure user and company data is safe and secure. Pexip is a strong supporter of strict security measures and data privacy. The company is ISO/ IEC 27000:2013 certified, adheres to data pri- vacy regulations such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, have HIPAA compliant solutions (for healthcare), and hold certifications from The Joint Interoperability Test Command – a wing of the US Department of Defense that tests and certifies information technology prod- ucts for military use. When we provide a solution that enables third- party meeting rooms to join Teams meetings, we also adhere to NCSC’s CSPs. Nico Cormier is the chief operating officer at Pexip.
