Businesses and public organizations are increasingly relying on drones for data collection and operations— ensuring the security of the data they handle is not only critical to guarantee data integrity, but it also affects business opportunities. If your organization conducts business with public or government entities, you might need to abide by higher levels of encryption and security standards.
Some of the basic steps you can take to safeguard your data include updating your drone fleet’s firmware frequently, encrypting data storage, and avoiding connection to public channels. But how can you add to that security, especially when your business is transferring data across various points, let’s say from the drone to the fleet management or data processing software?
That’s where programs like FlytBase Shield come in— Shield is a SOC2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR standards-compliant platform designed to provide additional layers of security to your drone program. From addressing accessibility to offering diverse deployment options, FlytBase Shield addresses vulnerabilities that can compromise your operations.
Enterprises face the dual challenge of protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access while maintaining the flexibility to deploy and manage drone operations effectively. If you limit your access entirely, you create bottlenecks throughout your workflow; FlytBase Shield offers a comprehensive suite of security features designed to protect drone data at every stage:
