How to achieve secure file sharing with FileCloud?
FileCloud offers numerous secure on premise file sharing solutions for hosting files. Equipped with a suite of security-enabled file-sharing features, it allows users to host, share, and manage file content on the cloud securely.
On-Premise File Sharing
When you have your own infrastructure for your company, you have control of your data. FileCloud supports the on-premise file sharing of the files. You can install the FileCloud in your on-premise servers to be used by your employees and other relevant users.
On-premise cloud file sharing provides secure and efficient file storage within a company’s own servers, allowing controlled access and collaboration. It offers enhanced privacy, compliance and data protection, ideal for organizations with strict security or regulatory requirements.
Self-Hosted FileCloud
FileCloud lets you manage your own cloud by hosting it on AWS, AWS GovCloud, or Azure. You can find the available FileCloud images in the relevant marketplaces. This self-hosting allows you to have control over your own hosting infrastructure.
Flexible Storage
FileCloud supports both local and cloud storage. FileCloud also provides the flexibility to connect to any external storage endpoints. The local storages that FileCloud supports are Disk, Network Shares, and CIFS/NFS.
Object Storage
FileCloud Supports AWS S3, Azure Blob, Wasabi, EMC ECS, and other S3 compatible storage systems. Both managed, and network share storage modes are supported by FileCloud.
Encryption at Rest and in Transit and High-Security Standards
While sharing files in the cloud with FileCloud, you can ensure that it is secured while transferring and storing files using FileCloud. Furthermore, FileCloud allows secure portal-based document sharing with FIPS-140, a high-security standard validated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
A secure document sharing portal employs encryption at rest and in transit, ensuring that data remains protected during storage and transfer. It adheres to high-security standards, safeguarding sensitive information from unauthorized access. This robust security framework provides peace of mind for organizations handling critical data.
Data Backup
To prevent data loss, FileCloud offers a “Backup Server” capability. This will back up your entire FileCloud installation, including all the files, user data, and all the settings in the FileCloud. This feature offers full or incremental backups and also scheduled backups. In case of any failure, you can restore the entire FileCloud installation. Also, the specialty of this backup method is that you are not vendor locked into FileCloud. You can export the files to a standard file structure. Data backup is crucial in HIPPA-compliant cloud storage as losing patient data is not an option.
User Authentication and Authorization
FileCloud provides user authentication in a few different ways. Single Sign-On (SSO) and MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) for authentication, as well as RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) for authorization. Single Sign-On can be enabled using multiple IDPs configured with FileCloud. MFA can enable more authentication protection where it will allow you to add additional steps of authentication for your file cloud.
Regarding authorization, your users can be categorized into groups, and the configured roles can be assigned to users. Group policies can also be defined by the administrator of the file cloud for additional security. Further to RBAC, folder-level permission granularity can also be achieved with FileCloud. These are coming under the administrative features of the FileCloud.
Enterprise Record Management
With rising government mandates, sensitive documents and corporate files must be securely managed. FileCloud’s enterprise file sharing solutions can be implemented as an efficient record management solution. FileCloud can identify, manage, archive, and delete records as part of the record retention lifecycle. Enterprises process a large amount of information from various internal and external sources, including document files, emails, digital documents, photos, audio recordings, contacts, images, and videos. This data, depending on its purpose, can be deemed as records, which can then be used to support legal proceedings, regulatory audits, or internal process reviews. FileCloud can help streamline records retention to suit a variety of records management needs; policies include legal holds, admin retention, recycling bin, archival, and standard retention.
FileCloud Enterprise File Sharing
Secure enterprise file sharing ensures that sensitive data is transmitted safely within organizations. It uses encryption, access controls and monitoring to protect files from unauthorized access, enabling businesses to collaborate efficiently while safeguarding critical information against cyber threats.
On-premise cloud storage solutions provide businesses with enhanced data security and control by allowing them to store sensitive information within their own infrastructure. With FileCloud, businesses can enjoy secure self-hosted cloud storage, ensuring complete control over their data while maintaining top-notch security, compliance and seamless access across all devices.
FileCloud’s self hosted file sharing server offers organizations a secure, customizable solution for managing data within their own infrastructure. By hosting the platform on private servers, businesses retain complete control over sensitive files, ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR.
