Penetration Test Certificate - BoardiGO

The successful outcome of this test serves as a testament to BoardiGO's unyielding dedication to providing their clients with a highly secure platform.

BoardiGO's platform **has undergone a comprehensive and rigorous security evaluation** conducted by [Thales](https://www.thalesgroup.com/en)' cybersecurity subsidiary, [Excellium](https://excellium-services.com/services/intrusion-tests/). **Thales is a globally recognized super-specialized security company** known for its innovative solutions and advanced technologies, particularly in the defence and security sectors. With extensive experience in **developing and implementing sophisticated security systems**, Thales has worked with military, government, aerospace, and space clients to provide the highest levels of security.

BoardiGO's platform evaluation was conducted through a Penetration Test (PenTest) using the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide methodology. **The test sought to identify potential vulnerabilities in all aspects of the platform's security that malicious actors could exploit.** Using various attack scenarios, the PenTest was able to simulate real-world conditions and accurately test the platform's resilience to potential security breaches. Despite the test's intense nature, **BoardiGO proved to be exceptionally secure** and successfully withstood the simulations without any significant violations. This successful outcome is a testament to the strength of the platform's security architecture and the robustness of its code.

The BoardiGO governance platform facilitates the organization and running of meetings. It is both a productivity tool and litigation insurance. In this article, Julien Jenoudet, CEO of BoardiGO, explains what this application is, who it is for and what its challenges are.

**What is corporate governance?**

Corporate governance refers to several decision-making entities. It brings together the boards of directors (also called boards), the general assemblies, the supervisory boards, the committees, the sub-committees... It is it which draws the main lines to be followed by the management. It also represents the "G" of the abbreviation ESG to designate corporate social responsibility.

In short, governance is a performance lever. However, today it is subject to two contradictory pressures:

• Regulatory pressure: governance comes up against ever more precise laws and regulations, with which it must comply.

• Productivity pressure: the tasks are numerous, and the teams in charge of corporate governance are not extensible…

We have therefore developed a solution to address these two issues. BoardiGO is an all-in-one tool. It is the only one on the market to manage the governance process from A to Z.

**How does BoardiGO work?**

It is a SaaS software, accessible in web and mobile versions. Many companies still manage their governance manually, even after the acceleration of digital transformation was accepted and welcomed during the pandemic period, **where digitalization proved to be a guarantee of efficiency and performance.**

**The BoardiGO application is initially aimed at corporate secretaries.** They are mandated by the supervisory board or the board of directors to take care of day-to-day governance. They convene meetings, write minutes, forward documents, etc. **This governance backbone can be external** (handled by a law firm, a fiduciary, an accounting firm, etc.) **or internal to a company.** In which case, the responsibility lies with the corporate secretary.

BoardiGO is also designed for board members. It allows them **to access meetings online to easily consult documents, and even to sign or vote live.** Thanks to our work on consistency, data is updated in real time for each of the players. This is a competitive advantage of our product.

**Can you give us other examples of features?**

BoardiGO offers **two types of features to optimize corporate governance**. The first one allows you to improve your performance. We can illustrate this with three examples:

- Our _Scheduling poll_, a module **to save time before meetings**. It is essential to their organization, because it avoids endless email exchanges. From BoardiGO, the _corporate secretary_ simply sends several possible time slots, for which the participants will have to check boxes in the application indicating their availability. Once the answers are received, the corporate secretary chooses a date and time and sends them the meeting invitation. Once the meeting is created with BoardiGO, **it appears in Google, Outlook, etc. calendars**;

- The _document request_ tool is another time-saver. It can be used when documents need to be signed. The corporate secretary must first create a document request in his calendar. Automatically, **an email from BoardiGO requests the signed document to the concerned persons** who must then click on the link provided and upload the expected document. If this is not done in time, BoardiGO sends a reminder.

- Finally, before meetings, our _automated board-pack_ tool is also very important. The board-pack is a single PDF document that contains all the documents shared on the platform before the supervisory board or board of directors meeting. On BoardiGO, as soon as these documents are entered into the system, a **single click automatically creates a board-pack.** The documents are even sorted according to theֹ'agenda of the meeting ;

We have many other features that can be tested during our free trial period.

**What about the second type of functionality?**

It concerns _compliance_. These features have been designed to comply with the _Audit Trail._ They are beneficial, even necessary, for all types of entities, including regulated entities, such as investment funds or banks. The regulator usually wants to know what has been produced in terms of governance. Our _Audit trail_ **offers specific dashboards to trace the past and future of a corporate governance.**

It is even possible to export this governance to Excel. The document records the date of the governance event (_the event_), its type, its title, who initiated it, the directors present and the decisions taken. If in doubt, simply click on a link to find the event in question!

Our clients know that American and European regulations require more and more transparency in order to ensure the proper functioning of the company, but also to prevent fraud. They are also willing to invest in this dimension, as failure to comply with these requirements can result in financial, criminal and reputational penalties that can be far more costly than the investments to meet them.

**To conclude, what do you see as the challenges ahead?**

Our strong growth can be explained by the reality of the market: the equipment rate is very low. We are very often confronted with customers who do not have digital tools. So there is **a lot of evangelization work to be done around digitalization.** The first challenge is to convince them to take this step, and then to choose BoardiGO.

**Then there is the challenge of security**. First of all, **it concerns the security of documents.** As such, BoardiGO is a Microsoft Azure partner and is audited by a third party to anticipate any internal or external attack. As for **the security of our users' identity,** it is preserved by a private cloud that hosts our own high security hardware.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE: THE CHALLENGES OF DIGITALIZATION

Making board meetings more efficient not only benefits the board members but also the organization as a whole, allowing them to allocate their resources more effectively and achieve their goals more efficiently.

Efficiency at its Finest

In the corporate world, time is a precious commodity, and no one knows that better than board members. **[Recent research](https://agb.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/AGB_2020_Trustee_Index.pdf)** shows that board members spend an average of **245 hours per year preparing for and attending board meetings**. That's **more than 30 full workdays per year** spent in meetings! As a result, it's essential to make board meetings as efficient and effective as possible.

Here are some tips to help you streamline your board meetings:

**1. Set a clear agenda & stick to it:** Clearly define the topics to be discussed in the meeting and share the agenda with attendees ahead of time. This way, everyone knows what to expect and can prepare accordingly. During the meeting, stick to the agenda and avoid getting sidetracked by other topics. If a new topic arises, consider adding it to the agenda for a future meeting.

**2. Leverage technology:** Adopt digital tools like BoardiGO to streamline the preparation and execution of meetings. It can help keep everyone on the same page and ensure that document sharing and decision making are done efficiently.

**3. Embrace the power of videoconferencing:** By conducting meetings virtually, members can join from anywhere with an Internet connection, freeing them from the constraints of travel and saving both time and money. In addition, videoconferencing is proven to enhance collaboration and communication, making meetings more productive and effective.

**4. Keep track:** Maintaining comprehensive records of board meetings protects organizations from legal and regulatory issues and ensures compliance. Utilizing digital tools to automate this process, organizations not only save valuable time but also enhance their operational efficiency.

**5. Enhanced Security:** Protecting sensitive data is crucial in the face of increasing cyber threats and data breaches, and ensures compliance. Do not hesitate to use tools with advanced security features such as encryption, access controls and multi-factor authentication. BoardiGO excels in this regard and the **[Excellium PenTest certificate](https://boardigo.com/blog/8)** confirms its exceptional safety capabilities.

**Time is indeed money**, and by making board meetings more effective, **you can save both.** As we move towards an increasingly digital future, it's crucial for companies to **invest in their digital transformation** journey and **embrace the many benefits of digitizing corporate management,**  including improved efficiency, better collaboration, enhanced security, and increased agility. This leads to streamlined operations, reduced costs, and ultimately, a boost in growth. BoardiGO can help you make the most of your meetings by providing a comprehensive platform to streamline your corporate administration.
