Case Study: Jiyan Foundation protects sensitive survivor data and improves remote teamwork with Tresorit

The Jiyan Foundation Enables Its Team to Work From Anywhere in the World but Still Protect Data About Survivors of Torture and Genocide With Tresorit

The Jiyan Foundation, an NGO providing support to survivors of human rights violations, faced the critical challenge of securing highly sensitive personal data while enabling its remote team to work efficiently. Their outdated internal file server slowed workflows, and a loss of trust in mainstream cloud services like Dropbox following the Edward Snowden revelations left them without a secure, accessible solution for their files.

By implementing Tresorit's end-to-end encrypted cloud storage, the foundation found a secure and user-friendly platform that the team quickly adopted. Tresorit allowed employees to access and edit files remotely from any location, eliminating previous bottlenecks and securing over 100GB of confidential data. The solution enabled the team to be more productive than with previous tools, with no security incidents since its implementation, ensuring the protection of the survivors they serve.
