Securing Government Data: Multi-Tenancy Solutions for Enhanced Security

In an era of interconnected government agencies and the need for seamless collaboration, securing sensitive data becomes paramount. The challenge is even more significant for larger governments with various agencies or ministries collaborating internally and externally. How can we ensure the utmost security in such an intricate environment?

This is where FileCloud’s virtual data room (VDR) solution comes into play, offering a fortified digital environment for confidential information. FileCloud is a hyper-secure file management, collaboration, and storage platform that can be deployed as an on-premises, cloud, or hybrid solution.

With tools to ensure government institutions maintain control over their data and comply with cybersecurity regulations, FileCloud meets diverse government needs for performance, latency, disaster recovery, digital transformation, and security.

Understanding Secure Data Rooms for Government

Secure data rooms for government (VDRs) are online repositories used for storing, sharing, and managing highly confidential government data. These virtual sanctuaries are designed to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data integrity. They play a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency and security of government operations across various departments.

FileCloud can be deployed as a secure data room, with specialized tools to support data visibility and governance within isolated, virtual spaces. Multiple layers of protection provide identity authentication, access authorization, and granular permissions for complete control over CUI, PII, PHI, and other forms of sensitive data.

These principles are cornerstones for the Department of Defense (DoD) Zero Trust Capability Execution Roadmap and a Zero Trust strategy in general, applicable for government organizations around the world, as well as private enterprises.

The Key Components of Secure Data Rooms for Government

To understand the functional requirements of secure data rooms for government, let’s break down their key components:

  • Robust Encryption: The foundation of secure data rooms lies in robust encryption. Every piece of data is encrypted during storage and transmission, rendering it incomprehensible to unauthorized users.
  • Granular Access Controls: Government organizations can define and regulate who can access specific data, ensuring that only authorized personnel can view, modify, download, or share sensitive information.
  • Audit Trails: A critical aspect of secure virtual data rooms, audit trails record every activity within the environment, creating a transparent record of who accessed what, when, how, and if the activity was successful (or not).
  • User-Friendly Interface: Despite the high-level security measures, secure data rooms need to offer user-friendly interfaces that facilitate easy navigation, document retrieval, and file sharing.
  • Secure Collaboration Tools: These rooms enable secure collaboration among government officials, subject matter experts, contractors, and other authorized stakeholders, enabling collaborative work on projects and documents.
  • Government Data Visibility: Government organizations often handle data that is highly sensitive and confidential. This includes national security information, classified documents, financial records, and citizen data. VDRs must have a mechanism to classify and organize this data to apply relevant security policies.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Government entities are bound by stringent data protection laws and regulations. Failure to comply can result in legal consequences or even jeopardize ongoing projects or even service members in the field. VDRs need built-in compliance support to ensure they meet unique government data security requirements.

Secure data rooms for government organizations, agencies, and ministries are the bedrock of modern operational efficiency and data security. As digital transformation continues to roll out across private and public-sector IT infrastructure, these virtual fortresses will prove to be ever more necessary.

Secure Sharing and Collaboration

Share files easily and securely, as a public or private link, with the option of enabling password-protection or Zero Trust. Additionally, files can be shared directly with internal users or groups.

Simple User Experience

FileCloud UI provides the user with single-click, intuitive actions, including drag-and-drop file upload, keyboard shortcuts, file commenting, and custom notifications.

Flexible Deployment

Deploy FileCloud in the way that works best for you: cloud-hosted (by FileCloud) in your preferred region, self-hosted as an on-premises solution, or integrated with a private cloud provider (including AWS and Azure Government Clouds).

End-to-End Encryption

Protect data throughout its lifecycle with AES 256-bit encryption for data at rest and SSL/TLS protocols for data in transit. Additionally, FileCloud offers a certified FIPS 140-2 encryption module.

Comprehensive Audit Logs

FileCloud’s audit system tracks and records all activity within the environment, including who (user) did what (file activity and outcome), from where (IP address), how (web, desktop client, mobile app), and when (date, timestamps). Logs are unchangeable and exportable as CSV files.

Metadata & Classification

Organize unstructured data with metadata tags to support data visibility within your FileCloud environment. Automate policy enforcement (DLP, retention, sharing, etc.) by creating classification rules based on metadata with FileCloud’s built-in engine.

Workflow Automation

Streamline processes with FileCloud’s easy-to-use, no-code workflow automation tool. Managers can create and share custom workflows to reduce administrative burdens and risk of human error.

Full Customization

Extend your brand and protect against spoofing by customizing your FileCloud environment. Change the color theme, enable dark mode, update login portals with logos, and run FileCloud under your custom domain.

AWS GovCloud

FileCloud helps government agencies and public sector organizations to host secure file-sharing solutions in AWS GovCloud. Hosting on AWS GovCloud helps meet the strictest federal data security requirements. AWS GovCloud is an isolated AWS region.

Customers can move sensitive data into the cloud with AWS GovCloud and FileCloud. AWS file storage supports auto-scaling and elastic load balancing. AWS helps meet required compliance standards, better efficiency, scalability, powerful automation, and powerful administration capabilities.

Isolated & Air-Gapped Network Integration

FileCloud can be deployed within air-gapped networks to support ease-of-access requirements, while also maintaining hyper-security. Only users who are connected physically to this network can access the FileCloud server via HTTP/HTTPs protocols.

Installations and upgrades of the FileCloud solution are completed with the offline installer, ensuring the solution can be installed within an isolated network without internet access.

Read more about FileCloud’s functionality within isolated networks in our white paper, “Deploy FileCloud in an Air-Gapped Network.”

On-premises VDR with Multi-Tenancy

Governments handle extensive data that may go back decades. With the increasing volume and velocity of data, admins are pressed with the task of both organizing and controlling that data.

One solution is to deploy FileCloud Server for an on-prem solution with multi-tenancy support. This ensures that with one FileCloud deployment, government agencies can organize and segment data to create isolated, secure virtual data rooms.

Benefits of Using FileCloud Server as a Secure Government Data Room:

  • Cost Efficiency: Sharing infrastructure reduces costs and maximizes resource utilization.
  • Efficient Collaboration: Ministries often need to collaborate on projects and initiatives. Data security can be a concern when sharing information across departments. But with multi-tenancy different government ministries can work together seamlessly.
  • Streamlined Management: Centralized control simplifies data management.
  • Secure From Data Breaches: Government data breaches are not only costly but can also compromise national security and citizen trust. Multi-tenancy can address this issue effectively.
  • Robust Access Controls: Implement stringent access controls that grant permissions based on roles and responsibilities. This ensures that individuals can only access the data necessary for their tasks.
  • Data Encryption: Utilize strong encryption methods to protect data both in transit and at rest. This safeguards information from unauthorized access.
  • Regular Audits: Frequent audits help identify vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with security protocols. They play a vital role in maintaining data integrity.
