Designed for data governance of regulated industries, FileCloud empowers organizations to automate the creation, retention, archival and deletion of files across on-premises and public cloud environments. Enterprise organizations are placing great emphasis on data governance as content management continues to evolve and various industries become bound by regulations.

(2) Archival: Moving and storing of organizational content, records or artifacts. (3) Retention: Automation of file retention for a specified period of time before the deletion or archival of files. (4) Trash Retention: Set user privileges to limit who can permanently delete files to reduce data loss or data leak risk. (5) Compliance: Reinforce policies and regulatory requirements, including GDPR, and FINRA — SEC17a-3, SEC 17a-4 compliance, across platforms. ‘We were looking for a solution that not only allowed sharing and collaboration but maintained the highest security,’ said Kendel Marrou, PMP, MCSA, Application Support Specialist at New Braunfels Utilities. ‘FileCloud offers a secured platform that enables content collaboration and management with encryption in-transit and at rest, two-factor authentication, anti-virus scanning, and industry best practices throughout.
