Law firm CEO worried about employees storing company data on private cloud services
A CEO of a medium-sized law firm is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the company's data is managed correctly and legally over time. The firm already uses Office 365 for email and word processing, but for legal reasons is not allowed to use Onedrive/Sharepoint (or other foreign cloud services). Employees lack as simple a service as they use at home to save and access their work files via mobile and tablet, they take matters into their own hands and use services available on the internet. The concept is called "shadow IT" and what the employee or the company does not think about now is that the data is suddenly exposed to other (foreign) legislation and is not subject to the conditions of a contracted service of a similar nature.
How can the law firm ensure that employees have a secure solution for their personal files?
Solution: Storegate - A personal storage area to access and share files in a Swedish cloud, under Swedish law.
- Puts no responsibility on the individual for the storage of sensitive information (requirement in future framework agreement).
- Personal files (my files) can be stored locally and synced with the cloud or stored only in the cloud (H:). The user works as before in the explorer on the computer.
- The company avoids investments and infrastructure management.
- Can replace the home catalogue.
- Set per-user storage limit.
