Understanding your vendors’ cybersecurity posture: a strategic imperative

By
Convoflo · Cybersecurity & Governance Understanding your vendors’ cybersecurity posture: a strategic imperative Why the security posture of your SaaS platforms matters just as much as your internal controls — and what SOC 2 Type II truly validates. As organizations rely on an increasing number of platforms and applications, cybersecurity can no longer be viewed solely as an internal responsibility. It is now deeply tied to the security posture of your technology vendors. Every platform you use effectively becomes an extension of your attack surface. A poorly governed or insufficiently secured vendor can undermine even the strongest internal practices. This is especially critical for tools that handle personal information, manage confidential documents, or serve as an interface with external users. In these cases, trust must be demonstrated — not assumed. ...

Segmentation as a security cornerstone: what the Convoflo–SharePoint integration brings to your organization

By
Convoflo · Security & Governance A smarter, more secure architecture: discover Convoflo–SharePoint As cyberattacks grow more sophisticated and legal obligations such as Québec’s Law 25 become stricter, organizations must rethink how they share information with clients. This article explains why segmentation between external and internal environments is essential, and how Convoflo–SharePoint provides a modern, secure alternative to built-in client-sharing modules. CPA firms, professional services organizations and any business handling sensitive data face increasing pressure to protect information while staying efficient. Across jurisdictions — Law 25 in Québec, GDPR in Europe, CCPA or HIPAA in the United States — one core principle keeps coming back: separate what is exposed to clients from what runs your internal operations. This is exactly what the Convoflo–...

Say goodbye to passwords: welcome to passkeys Convoflo version 2.19 marks an important step in security and ease of access: the support for passkeys. This emerging technology transforms how you access your online applications — and you'll never have to remember a password again. But what exactly is a passkey? How does it work? And what are the prerequisites to use it with Convoflo? Let us explain everything below. What is a passkey? A passkey is a cryptographic access key that allows you to authenticate to an application without having to enter a password. It relies on an open standard called WebAuthn (Web Authentication), developed by the W3C and the FIDO Alliance (Fast Identity Online).
