The manager of the company, Mr Blaze Adoh, said at the launch of the OpencloudGH that the software would help businesses by reducing cost involved with data management and data recovery without compromising on security.
OpencloudGH has embedded features that guarantees security of files such as multi-level password protection, encrypted communication channels and file and access level restrictions for shared documents.
Objectives
Mr Adoh said that the OpencloudGH followed guidelines provided by the Data Protection Commission of Ghana for the data security of citizens.
He added since hosting the service required the use of Internet and devices including mobile phones and tablets, the service was unlimited to geographical access.
The OpencloudGH renders unique features for enterprise clients including User/Staff Accounts, Internal Administration, Multi-Device Access, and Unlimited Maximum File size, Remote Device Wipe, Automatic Backup, Website Integration, Secured Shares, Localised Technical Support and Restore Deleted Files.
Next of kin data transfer, remote device wiping, automatic backup, share files with only intended persons, increased device storage capacity and Global multi-device access are also features for individual users.
Data Protection
The Executive Director of Data Protection Commission, Mrs Teki Akuetteh Falconer, urged managers of the OpencloudGH to ensure clearer terms and conditions to ensure that users were abreast of the legal implications concerning handling of personal information and the security measures established.
She said data controllers were obliged to make sure that information kept or transferred outside Ghana were handled by people who respected the data protection laws or maintained the same standard.
Mrs Akuetteh Falconer also advised the service providers to enlighten users on how to use the product to avoid vagueness since it would not help both providers and users.
