Made in Europe – data protection and data security with Easy8

- Advanced password policies: Individual specifications regarding characters and time limits for passwords, among other things, are possible.
- Limited data access: Access to personal data and events can be selectively restricted for users.
- The right to be forgotten: Person-related data can be deleted in an uncomplicated manner.
- The right of access: Person-related data can be collected quickly for information purposes.
- Anonymization of contacts: It is possible to generate anonymized profiles by automatically removing sensitive data.
Easy8 – in the cloud and on-premises.
Depending on the requirements for security, speed, availability and budget, different operating modes are relevant for project management tools. Easy8 can be operated in several ways:
- On-premises, i.e. on a dedicated server or in a data center of one's choice
- In a private cloud
- In a public cloud
The difference between private and public cloud is briefly this: In the public cloud, an Easy8 server is used by multiple customers at the same time, without them being able to see the data from other organizations. In a private cloud, Easy8 is also run on a public server, but all customers are provided with their own installation of the tool.
Easy on-premises – Easy8 and the Cloudogu EcoSystem
The Cloudogu EcoSystem reduces the administration effort compared to a classic on-premises operation of Easy8. Leave time-consuming installations and the manual import of updates behind: As an operating platform, the Cloudogu EcoSystem simplifies the installation and regular updates of all tools operated on it – of course also for Easy8.
