File Security End to End encryption from client to storage Single access point for auditing and data encryption AES 256 bit encryption of data on storage
"All files can be made secure using managed encryption, even if the underlying storage cloud does not support encryption. Managed encryption means that only the user who assigned the key knows it. It is not stored on our service.
Any shared files that are encrypted will need to have a key entered for file access. This can also be centralised so the administrator of the Cloud sets the encryption key for all users." Private encrypted links Private shared time based links Full audit on shared links Set password for shared links Expire shared links manually Enable/Disable collaboration features Full User actions Audit
Administrator can turn on event auditing and control the granularity so that all file events are logged for all users and the unique IP address is recorded against the event. The platform support GEO Location features for all document uploads Page 7 of 11
