Objective Connect vs. Kiteworks

Experience unmatched protection for your sensitive information when collaborating with external entities, especially designed for government and regulated industries. Objective Connect is a sophisticated external file-sharing platform that provides you with complete control over the information shared beyond your organization. This solution allows you to apply your internal governance policies to external partnerships while maintaining authority over the documents that are disseminated. You can collaborate effortlessly across different devices and teams, irrespective of their locations, ensuring there is always a unified version of important data. Every action taken is meticulously recorded, enabling you to monitor who accessed which documents and when, all from a centralized interface. You retain the capability to decide which files can be shared externally by sending document containers directly from your established file plan. Before any document is shared, thorough assessments of access rights, security measures, and specific stipulations are carried out. The system features two-way synchronization with your current file management system, ensuring that all participants are updated with the most recent changes. Any incoming files are organized systematically in their designated locations and labeled to maintain accurate metadata, promoting efficiency and trust in your data management practices. This holistic strategy not only simplifies your workflows but also significantly boosts collaboration among teams, enhancing productivity across the board. Furthermore, by consolidating all these features into one platform, you create a more cohesive environment for secure and efficient data sharing.

The sole security platform sanctioned by FedRAMP that facilitates file sharing, managed file transfer, and email data communications is essential for organizations aiming to align with various compliance mandates, including CMMC 2.0, ITAR, IRAP, NIS 2, and HIPAA, among others. A fragmented set of communication tools can lead to increased expenses and inefficiencies in managing resources effectively. Moreover, the difficulty in centrally overseeing zero-trust security protocols makes it challenging for organizations to maintain a comprehensive understanding of their security posture and compliance status, especially concerning the communication of sensitive content, which heightens risk exposure. Additionally, the lack of a robust governance framework intensifies both security and compliance weaknesses. Therefore, it is vital for organizations to actively oversee and manage access to sensitive content, enforce editing rights, and specify who is authorized to send or share information and to which destinations. Sensitive data types, such as personally identifiable information (PII), intellectual property (IP), financial documents, and protected health information (PHI), are especially appealing to cybercriminals and malicious insiders who seek to exploit their value. To mitigate these risks, organizations must employ rigorous measures to protect this vital information from a spectrum of potential threats, ensuring that their data remains secure and compliant with regulatory demands. Ultimately, the integrity of sensitive data hinges on the effectiveness of these proactive security strategies.
