Project – the aim you’ll have

Our team works with a British insurance company on cybersecurity. We develop customer care applications which serve as the communication channel between the insurance company and its customers. The main app’s functional features are checking if the customer has secure enough infrastructure to have the agreement with that company. End user is notified about incidents and risks, which are connected to the company he/she is employed it. There is a guidance from a set of FAQs and a virtual assistant. The app has an additional tools released along with it to configure the colour, schemes, fonts and content.
