Communication is always peer-to-peer and secured through SSL over VPN. Participants can exchange information with each other, either through case files or through pseudonimised information filters.

FCInet is managed, developed and maintained by the FCInet Secretariat, a small team (about 10) of business and IT specialists. The FCInet Secretariat supports the participants at strategic and managerial level, and with the (joint) further development and innovation of the technology.
