PGP Keys

Secure communications protect your customers and you. In the GDPR encryption is explicitly mentioned as one of the security and personal data protection measures in a few articles. Although under the GDPR encryption is not mandatory, it is indeed essential in some areas.

OTOBO empowers you to encrypt communications where needed by means of S/MIME Certificates or PGP Keys.

Note

Setup of services and software required for encryption are not covered here because of independence to this software.
