Montpellier Airport Case Study: Secure Document Sharing

Our work at Montpellier Méditerranée airport involves day-to-day exchanges on cybersecurity and airport safety issues. We work with restricted documents, so it’s vital for us to have total control over how these documents are shared and distributed to both internal and external recipients.

With other solutions for sending encrypted files, the document storage itself is not necessarily tracked and/or secured. Parsec implements a sharing space that we can be sure is secure, which meets our expectations from a security point of view. What’s more, Parsec is ANSSI-certified: this was an essential criterion among the solutions we studied during our research.

Our first choice was therefore the level of security; as for ergonomics, we discovered this by using the tool. Our users are both technophiles and non-technophiles. For the latter, Parsec’s ergonomics are similar to those of a Dropbox or Sharepoint-type tool.

Parsec’s ergonomic design meant that users were able to get to grips with the tool quickly, although they did need support during deployment.

The main area of improvement for us would be in the administration and control of data sharing by users at company level. It would be nice if this could be taken a step further, for example, by tracking the volume of data for each user, knowing with whom they can or cannot share their enclaves, etc. This could be a future need for us.
