File Transfer Compliance

FTP servers, messaging systems, legacy applications, and beyond.

Enterprises today often find themselves with dozens or more unmanaged file-transfer applications. Developed over time, these disparate applications are often patched together in some homegrown manner just to get the job done. And they are rarely aligned with any particular IT strategy or policy.

In terms of satisfying regulatory compliance mandates such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and GLBA, this presents major challenges. Every unmanaged file transfer application poses its own unique security risks and each must be managed and administered as its own entity – not as a coherent global system. Maintaining user credentials and access privileges across all systems becomes its own administrative nightmare – amplifying risk, cost, and complexity for the organization.

Ultimately, the inability to secure, manage, and control all of these disparate applications exposes the organization to unacceptable risk, and almost certain compliance failures.

Consolidate Systems, Impose Order & Control

File transfer consolidation can go a long way toward mitigating risk for an organization. All file transfer can be pulled together and standardized under a common security umbrella and a common view of all activity can be achieved. This makes it easier to detect weakness and vulnerabilities in the system, and to achieve total auditability at the most granular levels.

CyberFusion Integration Suite (CFI), from Proginet, is an advanced managed file transfer solution that enables IT organizations to consolidate and centrally manage all enterprise file-transfer activity. The solution supports strong authentication including PKI, access controls at user/group levels, selectable levels of encryption, full auditing on all transfers, and detailed compliance reports – maximizing security and control, and simplifying regulatory compliance.

CFI handles file transfer across multiple-platforms and over the Internet. A central Command Center provides a single view of all file transfer activity, bringing together features and functions including server management, user profiles, alerts, status reports, audit logs and compliance reports – exactly what you need to ensure compliance with existing and evolving regulatory mandates.

File Transfer Consolidation: A Phased Approach

Consolidating file transfer systems will often require a phased approach; Proginet has a structured methodology to help your organization roll the solution out gradually so that there is minimal disruption to your ongoing business process.
