FEATURE BRIEF
Elevate Your Data Security and Compliance With Kiteworks Advanced Governance
Streamline Risk Management to Protect Sensitive Information Across Your Digital Supply Chain
Kiteworks Advanced Governance offers a comprehensive suite of tools to fortify your organization’s security posture and streamline compliance efforts.
Implement Consistent Content-based Risk Policies Across Your Communication Channels
Kiteworks Advanced Governance allows organizations to define and enforce a uniform set of content-based risk policies and apply them across multiple communication channels. This unified approach ensures that your policy controls are consistently applied at the content layer, reducing the risk of data breaches and policy violations while reducing administrative overhead.
- Dynamic, real-time policy enforcement is based on user attributes such as profile and location, content attributes such as custom tags, MIP tags, and file type, and requested actions such as “edit” or “access.” It dynamically governs the action available to the user, such as “block,” “SafeEDIT,” or “allow.”
- Unified policies apply across email, file sharing, SFTP, and APIs.
- Unlimited number of policies with Advanced Governance, versus a two-policy limit without Advanced Governance.
Feature Highlights
- Unify Content-based Risk Policies
- Automate Compliance Reporting
- Scan Files to Mitigate Risks
- Legal Hold for eDiscovery
- Track Recipient Activities for Follow-up
Automate Compliance Reporting to Save Time and Reduce Audit Risks
Kiteworks Advanced Governance offers a suite of dedicated compliance reports that simplify the process of maintaining and demonstrating adherence to various regulatory standards, as well as investigating potential violations. These automated reports not only save time and resources but also help organizations identify and address potential compliance issues before they become problematic.
- Risk Policy Compliance Report—Audit all events corresponding to a selected risk policy to validate correct operation and compliance.
- CMMC 2.0 Compliance Report—Automatically gather information for the over 100 controls, demonstrate compliance with each control, and view an automatic pass/fail status if detectable by the system.
- Insider Threat Compliance Report—Track activity of a suspected user to pinpoint risky behaviors, viewing details of communications, files accessed, downloads, etc.
- Outsider Threat Compliance Report—Monitor the activity and communications of external users for potential compliance and security risks.
- HIPAA and GDPR Compliance Reports—Automatically collect configuration and settings data to prove policy compliance and identify potential risks so you can fix them before the audit. Produce audit-ready reports.
Scan Content to Manage Risk of Zero-day Threats and Data Leaks
By integrating Kiteworks with best-in-class security solutions, your organization can create a robust defense against malware, data leaks, and advanced persistent threats.
- Protect outbound content from leaks with DLP—Integrate with your ICAP-based enterprise data loss prevention (DLP) service, such as Forcepoint or Digital Guardian, to scan outbound content. Configure automated policies that can alert, log, and/or block transfers based on the DLP results.
- Protect your enterprise from zero-day threats with ATP—Integrate with your ICAP-based enterprise advanced threat protection (ATP) service, such as Check Point SandBlast or Trellix. Configure automated policies that can alert, log, and/or quarantine transfers based on the ATP results.
- Protect against malware in documents with CDR—Integrate with your ICAP-based enterprise content disarm and reconstruction (CDR) service, such as Forcepoint Zero Trust CDR. Kiteworks sends each inbound document to the CDR, which immediately returns a sanitized, usable version of the document that Kiteworks forwards to the recipient.
Simplify Legal Hold for eDiscovery and Ensure Regulatory Adherence
The Legal Hold for eDiscovery feature enables organizations to transparently preserve all third-party content communications for pending and anticipated litigation, including files, versions, emails, and activity traces, with access only by a specialized user role.
- Provable chain of custody is automatically maintained.
- Detailed reporting supports successful investigations and litigation.
- Integrates with email archiving and eDiscovery solutions
Boost End-user Productivity and Accountability With Tracking Dashboards
Kiteworks Advanced Governance provides end-users with simple, powerful dashboards to track and manage their email communications effectively. Users monitor the activities of each recipient of a mailing so they can streamline follow-up processes, quickly detect and remind non-responsive recipients, and improve overall communication efficiency.
- Instant visibility into recipient interactions—and non-interaction—with sent content.
- Improved follow-up processes for legal notices, billing, and project management.
- Unlimited dashboards per user with Advanced Governance, versus two dashboards without Advanced Governance.
