Working remotely from abroad: relaxed … or isn’t it?

What could go wrong?

❌ Slow or insecure connections
Public networks are often poorly secured. This increases the likelihood of cyber attacks.

❌ Data breaches and #AVG issues
Connections without proper security can lead to loss of customer data, resulting in fines and reputational damage.

❌ Compliance issues
Laws and regulations such as the AVG impose requirements on how and where data is processed. Working from abroad can be at odds with that.

❌ Poor accessibility
Time zones cause misunderstandings and delays, which puts a strain on collaboration within teams.

❌ Tools that don’t work properly
Not all IT solutions are suitable for use outside the Netherlands. This can cause frustrations and work interruptions.

 

How do you avoid these problems?

At ALTA-ICT B.V., we approach remote working differently:

✅ Always get permission in advance
Working from abroad is not done with us without clear agreements and approval.

✅ Secure, well-appointed work environment
We provide secure connections and reliable access to corporate data, anywhere in the world.

✅ Clear agreements
Clear communication about working hours, accessibility and responsibilities prevents surprises.

✅ Microsoft365 and security in top form
We ensure that employees can work securely with modern solutions that also function well outside the Netherlands.

 

Why is this important?

Remote working offers freedom, but should never be at the expense of safety and continuity. By thinking carefully about technology, security and agreements in advance, you avoid stress and damage afterwards.
Moreover, as an organization you show that you take responsibility for both your employees and your customers.
