Implement Your Video Conferencing
with Confidence

What are the key challenges in deploying a video conferencing solution?
Some organizations handling sensitive information classified as “Restricted Distribution” (DR), or even higher-level classified information (Secret or Top Secret), require an officially certified deployment of their communication solution.

These certified deployments are governed by two authorities: Ministerial Instruction 900 and IGI 13100. They specify that the handling of this type of information must undergo certification, concerning both the technical environment of the solution and the publisher’s organizational processes, in order to ensure a high level of security.

On-premise deployment simplifies the implementation of a video conferencing solution within a controlled environment and provides the company with full oversight of its hosting, access, and security levels.

What deployment types does Tixeo offer?
The Tixeo secure video conferencing solution is available:

• in the public cloud, with hosting within the European Union (France)
• in a private cloud, with SecNumCloud-certified hosting
• on-premise, for installation on the organization’s own servers

What are the main features of TixeoPrivateCloud?
Secure video conferencing deployed in a private cloud does not require the installation of an on-premise server within the company, while still providing certain benefits associated with an on-premise strategy. Users benefit from dedicated cloud hosting, fully managed by the provider. This reduces maintenance requirements and ensures compliance with SecNumCloud security standards.

Even in certain sensitive sectors, the use of cloud solutions, particularly private ones, is encouraged. This is the case in France, where the government promotes the “cloud at the center” approach. It encourages public administrations to rely on digital services hosted in the cloud, aiming to accelerate the digitalization of public services while maintaining data security. Indeed, the French government recommends, and in some cases requires, the use of sovereign cloud providers certified SecNumCloud (or holding a European qualification to ensure an equivalent level of compliance, particularly in cybersecurity).

Why choose an on-premise video conferencing solution?
Choosing a cloud provider requires a precise understanding of all their security guarantees (backup generators, redundant networks, support, etc.), which is not always straightforward. On-premise deployment of video conferencing may therefore be preferred by organizations with stringent cybersecurity requirements and a need for full control over their data.

Although Tixeo’s Cloud model strives to address these security challenges by clearly communicating its guarantees, on-premise deployment remains the preferred option for organizations with the highest sensitivity, seeking full end-to-end control over their data.

Moreover, companies implementing an on-premise video conferencing solution have full control over their setup, which can be customized using their directories, certificates, or mail servers. Some providers, such as Tixeo, simplify the deployment process on servers by offering streamlined installation procedures and automatic updates.

What are the deployment specifics of TixeoServer?
The on-premise deployment of TixeoServer is carried out without any impact on the organization’s network security. Indeed, the solution requires the opening of a single port, thereby minimizing the risk of introducing vulnerabilities. Integration is completed quickly while adhering to the highest security standards:

• opening of a single port,
• no intervention on network equipment,
• maintenance of workstation security.

Moreover, deploying TixeoServer at the core of an organization’s IT system allows it to retain full control. The organization can also choose whether or not to make it accessible over the Internet: in times of crisis, teams can use it on isolated networks (air-gap) and for out-of-band communications. In short, the company has the ability to precisely define the level of security it requires.
