Thomson Reuters Launches New BoardLink iPhone Application for Directors on the Go
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New app gives boards of directors access to critical company and business
intelligence information through a secure mobile-based solution
LONDON / NEW YORK, February 17, 2015 -- Thomson Reuters, the world's leading
source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today
announced the launch of a new mobile iPhone application for its BoardLink
service, a secure board workflow solution designed to further accommodate
companies as they operate across borders and have increasingly mobile, global
boards.
The BoardLink iPhone app provides boards of directors with access to company and
business intelligence information through a secure mobile solution. Directors
now are able to respond immediately to urgent action items such as board
resolutions, draft documents with a digital signature enabling a digital audit
trail, as well as respond to and send secure messages to fellow board members.
Available online and offline, the BoardLink iPhone app is fully compatible with
Apple's iOS 7 and iOS 8 platforms, and with the iPhone. It complements the
existing BoardLink iPad app and web versions of Boardlink, offering the same
high level of security. Documents are encrypted for review online and offline
via the app and a calendar enables board members to manage their schedule
efficiently through BoardLink.
"As more confidential Board information transitions from print to digital
formats, together with the increasing reliance of globally dispersed boards on
mobile devices, data security has never been more critical," said Phil Cotter,
managing director, Risk, Thomson Reuters. "The new BoardLink iPhone app
maintains the highest level of security possible for our clients, while bringing
together all the major capabilities that board members need on the go --
straight from their iPhone. This launch is part of our continuous development of
BoardLink and represents another major step forward in providing secure, mobile
solutions for our clients."
A recent Thomson Reuters board governance survey revealed increased
cybersecurity risks to boardroom communications. Over 60% of organizations never
or only occasionally encrypt Board communications, and only a quarter indicated
they always do so. Cybersecurity information is the least-requested information
by the board, with only 32% of boards frequently or very frequently requesting
such information. As concerns around data security continue to rise, BoardLink
reduces the risk of sending sensitive information over email or other non-secure
channels. BoardLink is SysTrust certified and completes an annual SOC 1 (SSAE
16/ISAE 3402) Type 2 audit in addition to a SOC 2 Type 2 audit.

BoardLink is a simple and intuitive solution that enables clients to manage
business activities, stay up to date on business news and regulatory changes,
and manage multiple layers of risk while optimizing board performance. It offers
customized tools including surveys, voting and secure messaging. BoardLink is
available as part of Thomson Reuters Risk solutions. For more information on
