Futurium is designed as a collaborative platform for discussion, exchange, and community work,
However, it is not intended for handling sensitive non-classified information.
Users should therefore pay close attention to the type of documents they upload or share.
This section explains the restriction concerning Sensitive Non-Classified (SNC) documents and highlights the need to use appropriate alternatives when handling such material.
Prohibition of SNC documents
Sensitive Non-Classified (SNC) documents cannot be shared on Futurium.
This prohibition also appears in the content guidelines, where sharing SNC documents is described as strictly forbidden.
Users should therefore avoid uploading, posting, or distributing this type of material anywhere on the platform.
Why this restriction matters
This rule helps preserve compliance, confidentiality, and the secure use of the platform. Since Futurium supports open and collaborative exchanges, including in public and partially visible spaces, SNC material must not be introduced into discussions, posts, comments, or shared files.
Alternatives for Community Managers
Where sensitive non-classified information needs to be exchanged or stored, users should rely on the appropriate dedicated tools rather than Futurium.
Alternatives, such as S-CIRCABC, should be used for Community Managers.
What is S-CIRCABC?
S-CIRCABC stands for “Secured, Collaborative, Information Resources Centre for Administration, Businesses and Citizens”.
It is an active web-based collaboration platform, that enables European Union Institutions and external collaborators to work together securely on documents and shared resources. It provides secure workspaces, multilingual and multi-format content management with version control, and additional collaboration tools such as translation management, event scheduling, and discussion forums.
Its security features include EU Login with two-factor authentication, encryption of data at rest and in transit, and detailed access control. It also supports the handling of Sensitive Non-Classified (SNC) documents in line with EU security rules.
