Mimecast Secure Document Sharing Solution

Document sharing is a crucial component of collaborative business processes. If not done correctly this could allow hackers to take sensitive data.

Secure Document Sharing is the digital distribution and sharing of information that is considered confidential or private. This includes information such as protected health information (PHI) or personally identifiable information (PII). This is the case for documents that are in progress and circulated to colleagues in a collaboration or review process. It is typically used in conjunction with M&A activities and requires a solution to allow the exchange of large files within a secure online environment, as well as one that safeguards archived and work-in-progress documents and the collaboration process itself.

The most popular method is via cloud-based secure file sharing solutions that allow users to view files online in a controlled manner (e.g. printing, copying, and screenshot Nasdaq Boardvantage Board Meeting Software: Full Rundown prevention). It also gives you an extensive access control system for shared folders and files. It also can enable sophisticated security options, including audit trails and encryption.

Peer-to-peer document sharing is another alternative. It lets computers connect directly to one another to transfer files, but without hosting them on central servers. It can provide some advantages, including reduced storage requirements, fast transfer speeds and more flexible user experience. However, it comes with a number of dangers, including accidental publishing of private information, malware, viruses and worms. It is not recommended to be used in environments with strict guidelines for compliance. Mimecast’s Secure Document Sharing solution provides a highly secure way for teams to share files with external parties, as well as internally within the company. It can be triggered manually or automatically, based on administrator-defined policies. It also supports different levels of access and collaboration, to be in line with the corporate governance guidelines and best practices for secure document sharing.
