Kiteworks is a secured file sharing platform that enables users to collaborate with different parties across a robust offering of secured protected channels. Users have the option of virtual private data rooms (VDR), managed file transfer (MFT), and SSH file transfer protocol (SFTP). This process minimizes the cost and risk by utilizing a conventional secure file sharing protocol with a unique set of data source connectivity, user management, governance protocols, and other dynamic controls. Our teams are easily able to utilize the same contents, folders, and user permissions across all channels. We have seen a decrease in process errors while improving response times and other critical business process outcomes.




With Kiteworks it is super easy to upload and share data files. It is a cloud-based solution so it doesn’t compromise any of my company's or my personal resources. I can use the solution anywhere - on my phone, tablet, desktop, office, or through a very intuitive business application.




Features and Benefits:



  • Great security: Every user gets their own secure login, so private things stay private. Kiteworks has some of the strongest encryption options I have experienced from any other solution, both in transit and at rest. They offer AES-256 encryption, are FIPS 140-2 proven and Federal Risk and Authorized Management Program (FEDRAMP) authorized. It really is amazing!




  • Data protection: A PAM-like process is employed here, so only the designated and approved users have access to secured files and folders. There are also additional options (restrictions) available regarding downloads, uploads, edits, and my personal favorite, watermarked documents with view-only restrictions.



  • Collaboration is so simple. I have used lots of similar platforms and Kiteworks is one of my favorites. The integration with various email solutions is amazing and seamless. If you use any of the popular ones, you are covered. You can easily collaborate with anyone anywhere in the world, and trust that it is secure. There are many different shared folder options, and lots of cool features such as tracking, search, and versioning. Users receive automatic alerts regarding any downloads, uploads, edits, comments, and more. This makes a huge difference in keeping everything moving forward. Our teams feel very much a part of an important process and work together to get the task completed on time.



  • Total visibility: You get complete detailed reports regarding different compliance goals (HIPAA, other government protocols, internal organizational protocols, and more) dashboards specific to the role and jobs specific to the organization (including CISO), and many other different critical informational logs. All stakeholders are kept informed in real time, throughout every process, continuously employing the highest security protocols, such as content expiration, need-to-know permissions, and more.



  • Cost-effective: Kiteworks is in the cloud so there are no major storage costs. It is very stable and scales easily.


  • Flexible deployment: The deployment options make it very attractive for any organization. They offer on-premise options, private cloud, hybrid cloud, and FEDRAMP deployment options.
