European External Action Service (EEAS): Auditors find security gaps in communications. One result: There are massive deficits when sending confidential documents.
Only 53 percent of those surveyed were of the opinion that they had tools that enable the secure exchange of documents with the EU Commission. At the EEAS alone there are three different systems for dealing with classified information. Two others work at the Commission and the Council of Member States, and the exchange between them works poorly or not at all. The problems are by no means new. The EAD had already launched an “information management strategy” in 2019.
