Document security systems
Protect sensitive data with document security systems
Your business documents contain a great deal of valuable data and sensitive information – which is why they’re the target of cyber criminals and malicious actors. As the volume of documents you create, use, and store continues to rise, so too does the risk of a breach. Achieving superior security requires a multilayered approach that combines awareness training, effective practices, and document security systems.
Document security systems are technologies that protect documents from theft or unauthorized access. From encrypting files to controlling access, these systems automate the process of applying a variety of protective measures to minimize risk and fend off attacks.
As a next-generation intelligent information management platform, M-Files offers advanced, AI-powered technologies that can play a critical role in designing a superior document security system.

The essentials of document security systems
There are huge inherent risks in creating, using, sharing, and storing documents. From cyberattacks and breaches to data leaks and malicious insiders, the security of your documents and the sensitive data they contain is constantly under threat.
There are three critical considerations when designing document security and risk management solutions for addressing these threats.
Visibility of your documents
You can’t protect what you can’t see. Organizations that lack a central visibility of their document assets will have a much harder time protecting them. Yet many companies are stuck with technologies and systems that aren’t integrated, creating data silos that hinder visibility. To enhance protection, superior document security systems must be built on clear visibility into all assets in the digital workplace.
Control over access
From accidental data leaks to malicious insiders to human error that leads to breaches, user access represents one of the highest risks to security. The ability to control and track who can access information is central to solid document security systems. Superior technology will provide tools for granting and revoking access, for controlling how documents are shared, downloaded and printed, and for providing audit trails that track all activity. With strict permissions in place, there’s much less room for human error and malicious activity.
The need for flexibility
Today’s marketplace is the site of massive disruptions, shifting demands, changing workforce expectations, and increased regulatory scrutiny. For these reasons, document security systems must embrace flexibility. When regulations change, employees leave, and business requirements evolve, document security systems must be flexible enough to automatically adjust permissions and access to support business agility while still protecting sensitive information.
M-Files: an intelligent information management platform
M-Files simplifies the task of finding, accessing, and sharing documents with people inside and outside the organization. Powered by artificial intelligence, M-Files connects all documents and information across every platform and repository, analyzing them to determine their content and context. Rather than requiring documents to be migrated to a single repository, M-Files indexes, syncs, and maintains documents wherever they reside – on local drives, in the cloud, in email inboxes, within CRM systems, in network folders, in filesharing services, or in other business systems and storage locations.
By storing and retrieving documents based on metadata concerning what’s in the file rather than where it’s located, M-Files makes it easy to find everything with just a couple clicks. By storing a single copy of a file and providing links to those who need to access or edit it, M-Files creates a single source of truth and avoids versioning headaches. And by connecting to legacy systems and archives, M-Files data management technology provides a full view of data across systems and applications, surfacing business-critical files from "dark data" stores.
