Clients often ask what exactly a client portal is, but the answer is not that difficult to define. Simply put, it is a web-based interface designed specifically for a company’s clients and partners, allowing users to access important business information in real-time from any location. This technology has proven especially useful for offshore and virtual companies that wish to ensure the privacy of all data-accesses.

For companies trying to cut down on costs and improve efficiency at the same time, this new feature has shown a marked improvement in both departments: efficiency is improved because of better data encryption, while cost savings are seen as an outcome of this tighter control over sensitive corporate data.

This new layer of security between client and partner offers clients a way to password-protect all data on their portals, thereby greatly reducing the chance for unauthorized access; additionally, the improved usability of the interface is expected to lead to a marked improvement in company productivity and profit levels as well.

To secure data at all times, client portals utilize data encryption technology that makes it impossible for anyone outside of the company possessing the encrypted key to gain access.

What Is Data Encryption?

Encrypted data encryption is the most significant improvement that client portal systems can bring to the table.

The technology ensures that all data passes through a secure layer on the Internet that cannot be deciphered by anyone aside from the two key members involved (the company and its trusted outsourcing partner).

By utilizing client portal systems that make use of enterprise messaging services, communication between the two parties becomes entirely private and safe from eavesdropping or hacking.

When coupled with workflows that are properly implemented, this form of network security can provide real benefits for any organization
