The solution
Flip is built around data minimisation: collect only what is necessary, and nothing more.
How Flip processes your data is governed by a Data Processing Agreement, and Flip will provide its template to review. In line with GDPR, Flip complies with every request to correct, delete, or copy the data it processes, and holds its own DPAs with all Flip data processors.
Flip secures data processing through the technical and organisational measures set out in the GDPR: mandatory employee security training, regular third party audits, two factor authentication, firewalls, virus protection, and disk encryption. These measures are reviewed and optimised continuously.
The only personal data needed to set up an account is a first and last name, a user ID, and a role (admin or user). Everything else, including a password reset email, job title, region, or phone number, is optional.
Certification and hosting
Flip processes and stores your data in an ISO 27001 certified data centre in Germany that meets the Cloud Computing Compliance Controls Catalogue (C5) standard. Data is hosted in the Azure cloud in Germany (Frankfurt and Berlin), so it stays inside the European Union, protecting data sovereignty and regional compliance.
Data moving between end devices and the data centre is encrypted to the current state of the art: TLS 1.3, RSA 2048 bit, SHA256 with RSA, and HTTP Strict Transport Security. Independent third parties check the security of the app regularly.
Flip uses OIDC (OpenID Connect) and OAuth to verify authorisation and authentication. The JSON Web Token signature is matched against the user's public key in the API gateway for every individual HTTP request. Employees sign in once with single sign-on and secure frontline login.
'The app allows us to communicate directly, securely, and easily with our colleagues. And all this with our private smartphones.'
Flip meets the most rigorous enterprise requirements out of the box. The platform is hosted on EU servers with ISO 27001 certification, messages are stored locally, and Flip is audited regularly by independent third parties. It is fully GDPR compliant.
Equipping a large workforce with company phones is difficult, and employees are often reluctant to let an employer onto their personal device. Mobile App Management gives employers high adoption without losing control, and gives employees convenience without the fear of being watched.
Works councils can accelerate your project rather than slow it. Flip was developed in partnership with frontline employees and workers' groups, so it arrives pre-fitted with the protections they care about: it cannot access personal smartphone data, it collects minimal employee data, and it can be muted outside working hours.
