Digitalisation of Public Administration

In the past, the vast majority of official business was processed in paper form. This cost a great deal time, paper and postage on the administrative and the customer side. In today’s world, all this can be completed with a single click. The digitalisation of processes has also long since entered the domain of public administration at municipal and national level. However, universal digitalisation and an associated process optimisation can only be achieved if communication with citizens also takes place via digital channels.

Digital services require corresponding protective measures – but which ones?

The digital citizen not only has high expectations in terms of user-friendliness but also attaches greater importance than ever on the adequate protection of personal data. This means that restricting user-friendliness for the sake of security – or vice versa – is not an option. The digital citizens’ portal must therefore allow the use of a new login process and must be expanded accordingly.

The Central Challenges for Public Administrations

  • E-government portals are challenging
    The topic of identity and access management plays a key role when it comes to accessing confidential data. When it comes to tax information, for example, access should only be granted with adequate authentication strength. At the same time, self-services are also critically important for citizen’s portals: Users must be capable of solving simple problems such as resetting a password themselves. This reduces the workload for the helpdesk. 
  • A unified security structure despite divergent needs
    There are additional requirements at government level: the strongly divergent needs of different public authorities must be represented in a uniform security infrastructure. Apart from this, areas such as policing have very strict security requirements that can only be met by a sophisticated security solution.
  • Guaranteed conformity required
    Citizens’ information is highly sensitive and must be handled confidentially and securely in accordance with the applicable privacy and security regulations in the relevant country.

What the digital customer and citizen expects

Optimum service quality and customer experience

blue-plus blue-minus

Citizens expect good service despite the pressure to cut costs. They demand adequate protection of their personal data and place increasing importance on usability. It is therefore essential to strike a balance between optimum usability and maximum security.

Nevis offers a secure login process – for browsers as well as mobile devices – with TouchID and FaceID instead of a password. Public authorities can therefore offer citizens the same convenience with maximum security on every type of device. They can also offer immediate and secure access to all services – thereby allowing operations to be performed independently.

Increased security

blue-plus blue-minus

With traditional methods, there is a risk that conventional security measures will not suffice. Our highly secure IAM solution is therefore the ideal choice for fields of application with elevated security requirements, such as the judicial system and policing. It also minimises the risk of successful cybersecurity attacks at the technical level. Documents can be transmitted online in encrypted and legally valid form. Only transactions that are biometrically authenticated are completed.

Reduced costs and time

blue-plus blue-minus

Transactions completed at the bank counter are time-consuming and transactions that involve different authorities are complex to process. The Nevis Identity Suite streamlines administrative processes and allows documents to be encrypted and transmitted in legally valid form. Public authorities using the Nevis automated security infrastructure can handle processes more quickly – while rolling out digital offerings at a faster pace. They can also promote closer communication between their administration and the citizens they serve. Self-service functions allow public authorities to reduce their helpdesk costs and turn accessing the portal into an experience for citizens.
