Protecting the sensitive data contained within B2G transactions and interactions is mission critical for businesses and governments alike.

As more governments continue to adopt digital transaction controls, ensuring the security of these techniques, and the data they involve, must take priority.

For additional security, any APIs used by an organization for integration should be authenticated via security certificates, to ensure that any data transmitted directly from its ERP system or point-of-sale solution is fully protected.

Redundancy should be in place across any data centers an organization uses, to make sure its security processes are always on, and its data always safe from prying eyes.

Each country / confederation has its own data privacy laws that must be complied with, such as the GDPR in the EU, India's Personal Data Protection Bill, and Australia's Privacy Act.

As more tax authorities implement continuous transaction controls such as electronic invoicing in a bid to close their country's VAT gap, the amount of sensitive financial and corporate data being shared between companies and governments is increasingly hugely.
