Secure Data Sharing in Microsoft 365? Technical Deep Dive & Real-Life Case from Heist-op-den-Berg
How do you remain compliant with highly confidential data in your Microsoft Office environment?
The VTC ruling requires organizations to store highly confidential data outside the public cloud. This has a major impact, especially for Microsoft Office users. With the Central Administrative Dossier (CAD), Ometa offers an integrated and future-proof platform that allows you to manage files digitally and efficiently, fully compliant, and within your familiar Office 365 environment. Thanks to information classification, sensitive documents are automatically stored in a private cloud, while still being easy to use within the Office Web Apps.
Specifically for DSD customers:
The DSD solution, originally developed by Ometa in collaboration with the city of Mechelen and later distributed via Cipal, is now under pressure due to the VTC ruling. Since the contract with Cipal was unilaterally terminated, it is important that you decide how to proceed before the end of this year. Our CAD solution combines the best of both worlds and provides you with a clear and sustainable alternative. Importantly, there is no need for a rushed migration – you have the time to make a well-considered choice.
For SharePoint users and custom solutions:
Even if you are working with SharePoint or your own environment, the CAD offers a valuable solution. Ometa’s components integrate seamlessly into your Office tenant, ensuring that confidential data is securely stored in a private cloud, without compromising on ease of use or functionality.
Why attend?
After several successful events, we’re continuing our series with a hybrid session (both physical and online) specifically aimed at cities, municipalities, and OCMW’s.
This time, the focus is on two complementary parts:
- A technical deep dive into secure data management in Microsoft 365, tailored for IT staff.
- A practical case from Heist-op-den-Berg, with practical demonstrations showing how the application works in daily practice for maatschappelijke assistenten.
By combining both perspectives, you get a clear picture of how to make Microsoft 365 compliant and efficient—both technically and in the field.
