Kiteworks

Deploy the Kiteworks platform to control, monitor, and protect all sensitive data exchanged across user collaboration, automated workflows, and enterprise AI—all from one unified platform. Kiteworks replaces fragmented point solutions with a single control plane—one policy engine, one audit log, one security architecture—governing data across email, file sharing, web forms, SFTP, APIs, and MFT workflows.

Unified Enforcement Ensures Privacy and Compliance

By consolidating sensitive data exchange onto a single platform, Kiteworks reduces breach risk, shortens audit cycles, and eliminates shadow IT. The Kiteworks data policy engine enforces ABAC, RBAC, MIP Sensitivity Labels, geofencing, and data sovereignty policies—ensuring the right people access the right data under the right conditions.

Broad and Rigorous Regulatory Compliance

Kiteworks helps support CMMC 2.0, HIPAA, GDPR, ITAR, NIS 2, DORA, EU AI Act, PCI DSS, PIPEDA, and dozens of other standards through centralized governance, immutable audit log, extensive controls, pre-built compliance dashboards for 14+ frameworks, and automated evidence generation for assessors. Kiteworks is certified and validated globally, including FedRAMP Moderate Authorized, FedRAMP High In Process, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001/27017/27018, FIPS 140-3, BSI C5, IRAP, and Cyber Essentials Plus.

Secure Data Exchange Capabilities

· Email Protection: Secures sensitive data communications with encryption, monitoring, and audit logging to prevent data leakage and preserve confidentiality.

· Secure File Sharing: Granular permissions, secure links, and immutable audit log across internal and external sharing, reducing risky ad hoc methods and enhancing governance.

· Governed SFTP: Self-service, auditable folder structures, permissions, and file transfers ensure quick onboarding of trading partners, with policy-driven controls that ensure integrity and provenance for regulated data exchanges.

· Managed File Transfer (MFT): The most modern and secure platform for reliable, compliant automation for exchange of large or regulated files with end-to-end controls and comprehensive audit log for partner workflows.

· AI Data Governance: Zero-trust controls for AI and agent data access, compliant RAG for enterprise data, ABAC/RBAC policy enforcement, real-time AI access audit log, and support for any MCP-compatible AI platform.

· Secure Forms: External and internal users upload data with the most secure and compliant forms on the market.

· Comprehensive Visibility & Governance: Real-time dashboards, comprehensive audit log, automated reporting, and a real-time SIEM feed that simplify risk management, incident response, and audit preparation.

· SafeEDIT—Possessionless Editing: External parties edit documents without ever downloading them, so sensitive data never leaves your environment. Next-generation digital rights management with no client software required.

Security-First Architecture & Data Protection

The Kiteworks hardened virtual appliance provides an isolated, purpose-built runtime for private data exchange, reducing the attack surface and providing zero-trust internal interfaces and an assume-breach architecture. Its integrated security stack—with embedded firewall, WAF, IPS, and strict least-privilege access—helps organizations meet stringent regulatory requirements while maintaining performant, scalable data workflows across Azure and on-premises environments. Data is protected with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Access controls rely on ABAC and RBAC for granular permissions, complemented by multifactor authentication options, and a wide set of internal controls.

Real-World Outcomes

Organizations benefit from streamlined compliance reporting, faster partner onboarding, and a security posture that supports cloud and AI initiatives without sacrificing control. With the average data breach costing $4.45M and 1 in 3 organizations experiencing data sovereignty incidents annually, unified governance has never been more critical.
