The only security platform approved by FedRAMP that offers support for file sharing, managed file transfer, and email data communications, enabling organizations to comply with various standards such as CMMC 2.0, ITAR, IRAP, NIS 2, HIPAA, and more. A disjointed array of communication tools leads to heightened costs and inefficiencies in resource management. The challenge of centrally managing zero-trust security policies renders it nearly impossible for organizations to maintain a clear view of their security and compliance, particularly regarding sensitive content communication, thereby exacerbating risks. The absence of effective governance further amplifies compliance and security vulnerabilities. It is crucial for organizations to monitor and control access to content, regulate editing permissions, and determine who can send or share information and where it is directed. Sensitive data, including personally identifiable information (PII), intellectual property (IP), financial records, and protected health information (PHI), becomes a prime target for cybercriminals and malicious insiders, who recognize its potential for monetization or exploitation. As such, organizations must implement stringent measures to safeguard this critical information against potential threats.
