General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The GDPR is an EU-wide law that governs the protection of personal data. It sets out how personal data must be collected, processed, stored, and protected. Law and tax firms must comply with the requirements of the GDPR to protect the privacy of their clients and citizens.

As a German IT security provider specializing in network solutions, we develop our products in accordance with Germany’s highest data protection standards and guarantee that our software and hardware are free of backdoors. Naturally, all of our servers are located in Germany under our sole control and are GDPR-compliant.

We are holders of the TeleTrusT “IT Security made in Germany” trust mark. This quality mark gives OctoGate’s partners and customers the assurance that they are choosing IT security products that comply with strict German data protection guidelines and offer reliability.

The illustration shows an example of a law firm with OctoGate Firewall Desks installed. Thanks to their compact size, these units are the ideal quiet and energy-efficient desktop devices. The OctoGate Desks are located centrally between physically separated networks and monitor all data traffic.

A VPN enables secure networking between different locations. The solution also includes Wi-Fi access points, which provide secure internet access for your employees. All access points are centrally controlled, configured, and monitored by the firewall.

OctoGate FileCloud

Working from Home Made Easy

OctoGate FileCloud is an integrated solution that enables your employees to store and manage files in a user-friendly way. Users can access their files via various platforms, such as the web GUI, mobile app, and Windows client. Additionally, synchronization between the local file system and the OctoGate Firewall is possible. With support for the SCP, SFTP, SSH, and WebDAV transfer protocols, as well as seamless integration into task management, it facilitates efficient collaboration in your tax office.

The OctoGate FileCloud offers a distinct advantage, especially when working from home, as users can access their files from anywhere without needing to be physically connected to the company network. Files can be stored directly on the OctoGate firewall or a downstream file server, providing you with flexible storage and scalability based on your needs. In addition, the OctoGate FileCloud is easy to use and supports all file formats, further simplifying seamless collaboration and information sharing within your law firm.

OctoGate FileCloud is available as an optional module for our firewall solution.

With the AX Access Point, you can avoid complicated cabling. It features two network ports that can be configured as a switch. One of them supports both PoE and the new 2.5 Gbps standard. Servers, PCs, and access points can thus be connected to each other quickly and easily. Once connected to the internal network, the access points automatically connect to the optionally available OctoGate firewall as well.

The OctoGate Desk stands out for its performance in a compact design. Our hardware—including a total of 4 ports, an SSD, and RAM—is densely packed into the available space. Not only is the OctoGate Desk compact, but it’s also affordable. This means even small businesses don’t have to compromise on security. The Desk Solution offers secure protection for 2, 5, or up to 10 users.
