Docuflair for social insurance agencies

Social data is especially protected — and especially voluminous.

Social data protection (section 35 SGB I)

Social data is subject to social secrecy — stricter purpose binding than the GDPR, disclosure only within narrow limits. Breaches carry criminal liability under section 203 of the German Criminal Code.

Insured-party files for 30+ years

Pension files must be kept for at least 30 years, accident/occupational-disease files sometimes for life. Paper archives on that timescale are both an operational and a data-protection risk.

Inter-agency cooperation

Cooperation between pension, health and accident agencies requires extracts of insured-party files — but only the purpose-relevant content, without third-party data. Manual redaction is a source of errors.

Decisions with third-party data

Decisions often contain information about employers, physicians and relatives — before file inspection by the insured or authorised representatives, third-party data must be redacted. High effort, tight deadlines.

How Docuflair supports social insurance agencies

PII redaction at data transfer

Automatic detection and redaction of third-party personal data in 9 PII categories — before inter-agency cooperation, file inspection, appeal or litigation proceedings. Reusable profiles per file type.

Audit-proof long-term archiving with SHA-256 hash, retention rules per file type and tamper-resistant storage — section 304 SGB III (employment agency), section 147 SGB VI (pension), SGB V/VII/XI (health/accident/care).

More about Access Control

Insured-party case in 5 steps

1

Create insured-party case

A new case with insured-party number is created in the specialist system — Docuflair references the case number. Role-based access for caseworkers, medical service and appeals office.

2

Scan files

Medical reports, certificates, findings and applications are scanned, OCR-recognised and stored audit-proof. TR-RESISCAN enables legally compliant destruction of paper originals.

3

Redact

Before transfer to inter-agency partners, insured parties or the social court, third-party data is automatically masked across 9 PII categories. Reusable redaction profiles.

4

Issue decision

Decision from a template, electronically signed, dispatch via De-Mail, E-POST or paper. The audit trail documents creation, signature and dispatch with timestamps.

5

Archive for 30 years

SHA-256-secured storage with retention rules per file type — pension files 30 years, employers'-liability files partially for life. On-schedule deletion is technically guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most important questions for social insurance agencies

How is social data protection under section 35 SGB I implemented in Docuflair?

Docuflair implements the requirements of social data protection under section 35 SGB I and sections 67ff. SGB X technically: purpose binding through role-based access, logging of every access in the SHA-256 audit trail, deletion deadlines through retention rules, PII redaction before any data transfer. The on-premises architecture ensures social data does not leave the agency.

Does Docuflair fulfil the retention obligation under section 304 SGB III?

Yes. Docuflair Archive provides audit-proof long-term archiving with SHA-256 hash, tamper-resistant storage and retention rules per file type — Federal Employment Agency decisions under section 304 SGB III, pension files under section 147 SGB VI, health/care files under SGB V/XI, each with statutory deadlines.

Does Docuflair support appeal procedures with a workflow?

Yes. Docuflair Workflow maps the appeal path — filing, assignment to the appeals office, deadline monitoring (three months under the Social Court Act) through to the decision. Before handover to the social court, files are automatically redacted.

Can Docuflair integrate with DRV-Service or GKV-Spitzenverband IT landscapes?

Docuflair provides open interfaces (REST API, file exchange, SFTP) and can connect to specialist systems — DRV systems, AOK base systems, BITMARCK or ITSG landscapes. The specific integration is agreed in a preparatory call.

Why can social data not be stored in the cloud?

Social data is subject to social secrecy (section 35 SGB I) and the BDSG special provisions in sections 45 to 84. Outsourcing to US cloud providers is legally highly problematic due to the CLOUD Act and Schrems II. Docuflair runs exclusively on-premises — at the agency or in a data centre of a GKV/DRV IT service provider.

Does Docuflair meet Austrian data-protection requirements for sensitive records?

Yes. Docuflair captures, redacts and archives sensitive records audit-proof and GDPR- and DSG-compliant, and integrates with electronic file management (ELAK). Personal data is reliably pseudonymised or redacted – on-premises or dedicated private cloud, so all data stays in-house.

Is Docuflair suitable for Swiss bodies handling sensitive personal data?

Yes. Docuflair complies with the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revDSG/nFADP, in force since 1 September 2023) and archives sensitive records audit-proof and unalterable. On-premises or dedicated private-cloud operation ensures personal data never leaves Switzerland.
