Building citizen trust
Transforming government services
in the digital age

Creating better citizen experiences
Gaining and maintaining citizen trust is a top priority across all levels of government. After all, without the backing of their people, even strong governments can flounder.
Digital maturity – or lack thereof – is a key factor getting in the way of trust today. Many public sector organisations still struggle with outdated or legacy systems that don’t deliver on citizens’ expectations. Read more about this in our eBook.
The good news? Citizen trust in government hit an all-time high in 2020. Today, public sector organisations have a great opportunity to build upon this positive momentum by embracing modern technologies and delivering delightful, useful and secure digital services to citizens.

How to implement the Essential Eight
A guide for government organisations
In the quest to deliver better digital services, cybersecurity matters more than ever. It’s why the federal government is making it compulsory for almost all government departments to get on board with the essential eight. Here are our top tips for starting your journey.
Announcing our User Secure Score Dashboard, the app the public sector can’t be without
Global events have meant that many people have had to work from home, which means more offsite devices than ever are enabled to access your company’s data.
If security has been at the top of your concerns, our first in kind User Secure Score (USS) Dashboard can be incredibly effective for your public sector agency.
Some of the many reasons workers require offsite access to your public sector network can be:
• Many workers work in mobile environments and are on the go
• Choose to telecommute as well as work in offices
• Need to have access to the network at all times in case of an emergency
For more information on this app, please see our User Secure Score landing page.
