E-government

Public organisations looking at deploying e-government services face many challenges. First of all, they must make sure legislations and regulations are met, due to the very sensitive nature of the information involved. The services must be designed to ensure data integrity and confidentiality, this requires strong mechanisms for data encryption and user authentication, coupled with flexible and comprehensive audit.

PortWise provides solutions for public organisations looking at deploying e-government services for its citizens that complies with regulations and legislations, and/or wanting to establishing service and application sharing for collaboration with other agencies. This is how PortWise can help:

• Eliminate identity fraud - As governments move to online services, the need to protect citizens against identity fraud becomes critical. By using strong authentication with national electronic IDs, government organisations can ensure users really are who they claim to be.
• Provide secure encrypted access to information - When citizens access e-services, sensitive information is transmitted back and forth between the user and the organisation. PortWise ensures confidentiality is maintained by using leading standards for data encryption.
• Role-based authorisation - PortWise does not only take into account who the user is but also in which context the request is made. The same person may have diffrent roles that gives different permissions, e.g. if the user logs on as an employed teacher or as a citizen.
• Audit for regulatory compliance - Know what your users are doing, what information they access when and how. With comprehensive logging from PortWise, government organisations can easily meet their compliance regulations.
