Overcome Data Risks and Compliance Gaps with Automated Control

Navigating Through Security and Compliance Obstacles explains how easily organizations can fall out of compliance when access rights, document versions, and retention rules rely on manual effort. As the brief highlights, missing evidence, uncontrolled versions, and inconsistent procedures expose companies to data leaks, audit failures, and regulatory penalties. M-Files helps organizations enforce security and compliance by automating permissions, linking evidence to processes, and maintaining fully traceable document histories.

Strengthen Document Control and Streamline Audit Readiness

The eBook shows how combining document management and compliance into one platform eliminates bottlenecks created by disconnected systems. Automated workflows improve productivity while enforcing compliance steps, ensuring only the right people access sensitive information. M-Files also automates governance policies, retention schedules, and audit trails, giving auditors and regulators immediate visibility into version history, access events, and control execution. This reduces manual workload and supports a more predictable, compliant operating environment.

What’s Inside

Why It Matters

Organizations face rising compliance demands, yet many still rely on manual controls that cannot scale. As the brief explains, human error accounts for the vast majority of breaches. M-Files reduces this risk by embedding security policies into daily work, preventing unauthorized access, and automating critical governance steps. With consistent tracking and clear audit trails, businesses can demonstrate compliance confidently and avoid costly fines.
