Frequently Asked Questions

Government agencies typically use secure, cloud-based file sharing solutions, which are designed to meet strict security and compliance requirements like FedRAMP, FISMA, GDPR, ISO 27001, and others. These solutions provide government agencies secure file transfer, data storage, user authentication, access control, encryption, and auditing capabilities to ensure confidential data about its citizens, critical infrastructure, diplomatic relations, or other government activity is stored, shared, and accessed in a secure manner.

Governments typically transfer files in a secure, encrypted fashion using either an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) channel. Other commonly used methods are email, cloud-based file transfer services, VPN (Virtual Private Network) connections, and dedicated file transfer services.

The best file sharing solution for government agencies depends on the specific agency’s needs and requirements. Generally speaking, the most secure file sharing solutions are those that provide end-to-end encryption, workflow automation, and compliance with government policies and national data privacy regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information (ANSII), Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), and many others.
