Common challenges for IT teams
Fragmented tools and complex integrations
4-6 different work apps are juggled by the typical frontline worker creating management headaches and security risks ²
Security and compliance concerns
€4.2M is the global average cost of a data breach ³, making protection of sensitive data and strict regulations (SOC 2, GDPR, ISO) a top priority
Low adoption and shadow IT like WhatsApp
85% of frontline employees use unauthorised apps and services for work purposes ⁴, exposing the organization to risk
Device management and BYOD
80-90% of ransomware attacks begin on unmanaged (BYOD) endpoints ⁵, forcing organisations to support both company-owned and personal devices without compromising security or privacy

How we keep your employees’ data safe
01
Data Processing Agreements
How we process your data is governed by a Data Processing Agreement, we’ll happily provide you with our template to look over. We comply with all GDPR data subject rights, including correction, deletion, and access requests. And to maximise your protection, we have DPAs of our own in place with all Flip data processors.
02
Technical and Organisational Measures
We ensure the secure processing of your data through rigorous technical and organisational measures, as outlined in the GDPR. These include (but aren't limited to) Mandatory employee security training, regular third-party audits, two-factor authentication, firewalls, virus protection, and disk encryption. We also regularly review and optimise these measures to ensure we're ahead of the latest security developments.
03
Data minimisation principles
In a world where your data is constantly collected, connected, and sold, it's nice to know that Flip is a safe space. Flip was designed around the principle of data minimisation: collect what's necessary and nothing more. The only personal data needed to get set up is a first and last name, a user ID (e.g. email address), and a specified role (admin or user). Other information, such as a password reset email address, job title, region, or phone number, is completely optional.
