LGOL-hub (secure e-mail)

Background

As inter-service, inter authority and inter-agency working becomes common place, improved and more secure messaging facilities are needed. Data and message sharing between systems introduces a host of technical, legal and procedural issues. Exchanging files containing sensitive information about citizens, cases and policies needs a level of secure exchange not yet widely implemented.

LAWs has developed a proof-of concept secure inter-Authority email system as a step along the way to help the Local Government community understand the issues involved in developing and adopting secure systems.

Achieving a secure solution

The LGol-Hub secure email system offers a secure way to exchange email with partner organisations. As mail leaves the sender, it is routed to the Tameside hub where security and encryption is applied before it is automatically sent it on to the receiving authority.
