Kiteworks has revolutionized our processes, making my team significantly more efficient. The sooner we can ship an order, the sooner we can invoice and receive payment. The fact that we we’re sharing sensitive information securely is simply icing on the cake.
Given the nature of our department’s responsibilities—generating, processing, and sending extremely sensitive financial information with customers and consultants—it just makes sense to use Kiteworks.
By bringing Kiteworks to the end user, there is no service interruption in the cases being handled by support engineers. It also allows the customer to quickly upload rather than having to authenticate or generate any other kind of access controls. It’s an efficient, streamlined process that’s regulated and tracked by the Kiteworks platform.
Kiteworks isn’t just our product, it’s a best practice for securing and tracking some of our company’s and clients’ most sensitive information. We use it to protect our own sensitive information. What more needs to be said?
IT, security, privacy, and compliance leaders at more than 3,800 of the world’s leading enterprises and government agencies trust Kiteworks
