Benefits of Carbonio for the Public Sector
The public sector is subject to a variety of local regulations regarding data and technology. These regulations are designed to protect the privacy and security of sensitive information such as:
- Personal identification information (PII) such as names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and identification numbers.
- Financial information such as bank account numbers, credit card numbers, and financial transactions.
- Health information such as medical records, diagnoses, and treatments.
- Employment information such as job titles, salaries, and performance evaluations.
- Criminal records and background checks.
- Children’s information such as names, ages, and school records.
To comply with these regulations, organizations in these sectors must implement robust data management and security protocols such as secure authentication systems and access controls. They must also ensure that their technology systems are up-to-date and in compliance with relevant industry standards. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to severe legal and reputational consequences, so it is essential that organizations in the public sector take their compliance obligations seriously.
Let us delve into the benefits that Carbonio has to offer and learn how it can be advantageous for your organization.
Achieve Data Sovereignty
According to recent studies, the world is moving towards stricter regulations regarding data sovereignty. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has set a high standard for data protection and privacy, and many other countries are following suit with similar regulations. In a survey conducted by PwC in 2020, 85% of respondents said that they expect regulation around data protection and privacy to increase over the next few years. This trend is particularly pronounced in the public sector, where the handling of sensitive data is subject to strict regulations and compliance requirements.
Carbonio helps organizations in the public sector achieve data sovereignty by providing a reliable platform, where data are stored and managed securely. With Carbonio, organizations can ensure that all individuals’ data is kept secure and handled responsibly, adhering to strict requirements for the safeguarding of personal data. The platform provides robust access controls to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, while also offering advanced features like real-time backup and restore system to protect the integrity of your data. This level of security and control enables organizations to achieve true data sovereignty, while also meeting regulatory requirements and maintaining the trust of their stakeholders.
Private Deployment
According to recent surveys, businesses are increasingly moving towards private cloud and hybrid cloud deployments for their critical applications due to concerns about data sovereignty and security. A survey conducted by LogicMonitor in 2020 found that 87% of enterprise IT decision-makers believe that the future of IT infrastructure is hybrid, indicating a growing trend towards private and hybrid cloud deployments. Private Development offered by Carbonio aligns with this trend by providing organizations with a secure and private environment for developing and deploying custom applications, while also giving them the flexibility to choose their preferred deployment option. This ensures that organizations can maintain control over their data and comply with regulatory requirements, while also enabling innovation and agility in their development processes.

By providing a single platform to manage all business needs, Carbonio helps organizations achieve greater efficiency, cost savings, and peace of mind.
Urgent Need for Public Sector Compliance with Data Protection Regulations
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation enforced by the European Union that affects any organization that handles the personal data of EU citizens. The GDPR dictates how personal data must be collected, processed, and stored, as well as the rights of individuals to access, correct, and delete their data. In addition to the GDPR, there are other data protection regulations that governments around the world must comply with, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada, the Privacy Act in Australia, and the Lei Proteção Dados Pessoais (LGDP) in Brazil. These regulations aim to protect the privacy and rights of individuals and ensure that organizations are accountable for the data they collect and process.
The public sector, which collects and handles large amounts of personal data, is particularly affected by these regulations and must ensure they have the appropriate systems and processes in place to comply.
