Your ideas deserve data protection and digital sovereignty

Many online whiteboards fall under the U.S. Cloud Act, even when their data is hosted in Europe. With Collaboard, you decide where your data is stored — in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, or on your own servers.

Collaboard is developed by IBV Informatik, an independent, family-owned Swiss software company. We guarantee the highest level of data security and full GDPR compliance, powered entirely by a European development and support team.

Secure and sovereign hosting with Deutsche Telekom in Germany

Collaboard is a GDPR-compliant solution developed by the Swiss company IBV, which is ISO 27001 certified.

It provides European data sovereignty with hosting in Germany through the Open Telekom Cloud. Collaboard exclusively uses services that are independent of U.S. cloud providers, ensuring maximum privacy, compliance, and trust for European organizations.

Secure on-premises and private cloud options for full data control

Organizations that prefer not to store their data in a public cloud can run Collaboard themselves. It can be operated in their own data center, in the data center of a municipal IT provider, or within a private cloud environment.
