Data security is a crucial aspect when considering an enterprise file sync and share solution. It is important you decide who is in control of your files. The question you need to ask yourself is “are you or your employees deciding on what file sync and share solution your company uses?

It is just a fact that users bring all kinds of devices into the organization and they do that because they simply don’t care about the security of the company and it is easy to make file transfers with the current consumer grade solutions that are out there.

It is basically your job to care about the security and you have to ask yourself “are your confidential files vulnerable in case of a security breach and who is protecting your business from employees and external threats”.

Internal errors just happen because an employee or even you could accidentally email a sensitive document to the wrong recipient. Your employees could be seeing documents on the network drive they should not see like contracts or salaries or shared files that are outdated and need to be removed. Those are constantly lingering somewhere in the file system and nobody actually knows what the file is about.

There are also external errors such as sending a sensitive attachment to someone outside the organization or leaving your laptop, smartphone or tablet in a taxi with all these sensitive documents on it.

Another employee related issue that you need to think about is if you just had to let go of somebody and that person takes the smartphone or the laptop with him, did you remember to delete all the files or did he delete all the files that are related to the company from that device? That is a question that you need to ask yourself and which poses generally a greater risk.

You need to make sure that your business is protected at all times and an enterprise-grade or a business-grade file sharing and sync solution will help you achieve that. 365Vault file sharing and sync solution empowered by StoneFly™ sees security as a number one priority for them and for their clients.
