Rhön-Klinikum Deploys Brainloop Secure Boardroom

Rhön-Klinikum AG, a leading health service provider headquartered in Neustadt/Saale, has deployed Brainloop Secure Boardroom, the web-based software solution for communication between the board of directors and the supervisory board. The preparation and distribution of the board of directors' resolutions will be managed in Brainloop's Secure Boardroom application, which now supports online voting, allowing the board members to make decisions independent of the board meetings. The deployment of the application for M & A due diligence is planned in the future.

Until now the gathering of information for the board's resolutions, the dispatch of minutes and filing took place in paper form or via e-mail. The Secure Boardroom eliminates these unsafe communication practices. From now on, board meetings will be prepared in the Dataroom, and resolutions will be executed during the meeting. Brainloop Secure Dataroom benefits include an efficient meeting management system, a central document repository, which is protected against tampering with documents and any unauthorized forwarding of e-mail attachments.

Rhön-Klinikum uses the Secure Boardroom to pass resolutions. The voting results will be registered in the Dataroom during the board meeting, guaranteeing that the resolutions remain unchanged. Especially in time-critical situations, Rhön Klinikum AG uses the dataroom for action by written consent, meaning that each board member can vote directly and independently in the Dataroom. Hence, the Secure Dataroom covers the requirements of Rhön Klinikum for a central, secure and simultaneously efficient meeting management system.

The Brainloop Secure Boardroom's end to end security architecture includes encryption for storage and transmission of documents and a strong user authentication. A two factor mechanism can be used in for strong authentication. Users receive a text message key sent to their mobile phone. Furthermore, every action, like access or change of a document will be automatically recorded. A personalized watermark offers additional protection. The audit trail ensures that all operations in the Dataroom adhere to modern compliance regulations and to the German Corporate Governance Codex.
