Compliant with HECVAT

FileCloud is fully compliant with the Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit (HECVAT). This is the framework used extensively in U.S. higher education to determine the privacy and security capabilities of third-party cloud service providers. FileCloud’s listing on HECVAT Community Broker Index, is an important stamp of approval from higher education professionals.

Designed for Mobile

FileCloud has intuitive iOS and Android apps to allow seamless and secure collaboration from mobile devices on the go. Browse and edit files just as you would from a laptop or desktop. Easily navigate and sync FileCloud with your Office 365 documents with powerful integration, while also safeguarding sensitive information with robust security protocols.

Flexible Deployment Options

FileCloud is flexible, with multiple deployment options. With FileCloud Online, your data is stored securely in a region of your choice. Alternatively, you can deploy FileCloud on your own infrastructure as a private cloud, ensuring your data remains on premises. FileCloud can integrate seamlessly with any existing infrastructure.

Control Over Compliance

Simplify your institution’s adherence to regulatory requirements, such as GDPR and HIPAA, with FileCloud’s Compliance Center. Its streamlined interface allows administrators to follow compliance best practices easily, through the use of intuitive templates, alerting them to errors in configurations and providing instructions on how to fix them. Generate reports on compliance violations to allow quick corrective action. Save comprehensive logs for easy auditing and reporting.

Administrator Portal

FileCloud’s Admin portal allows your university admins to monitor all aspects of users, files, storage quotas, security policies, and more, from one simple interface. Get insights on usage trends, as well as on access by geography, with easily generated analytics and reports. A powerful, streamlined dashboard allows admins to manage all connected devices, imposing restrictions or remotely wiping data from devices where necessary.

Large File Support

Large files, and groups of files, can be shared speedily, such as DICOM images and CAD files. There is no file size limit with FileCloud. In the event of a temporary loss of connectivity or outage, there is no need to worry about the progress of a large file upload. FileCloud can resume uploads of your important files after an interruption without any data loss. The progress already made on your task is automatically saved, minimizing frustrations in relation to time and cost.

Data Loss Prevention

FileCloud has multiple capabilities that help to secure your data and prevent data leaks. You can wipe and block lost or stolen devices to prevent unauthorized access, back up and restore data across platforms, and make use of unlimited file versioning to recover previous versions of files. A suite of Digital Rights Management (DRM) features, including Secure Web Viewer, provide an added layer of security against the loss of valuable institutional data assets.

Cast Iron Security

FileCloud has multiple security features to prevent your valuable data from getting into the wrong hands. These include ransomware protection, encryption for files at rest and in transit, 2FA, SSO, SIEM integration, anti-virus scanning, and compliance with both NIST 800-171 and FIPS 140-2.

FileCloud’s industry-first Zero Trust File Sharing® enables you to encrypt files with an additional layer of security, providing you with exclusive control over who can access valuable institutional information.
