FileCloud Unveils World's First GDPR Compliance Support for Private CloudsFileCloud, a cloud-agnostic Enterprise File Sharing and Sync (EFSS) platform, today announced the world's first availability of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance support for organizations utilizing private cloud enterprise file sharing. The FileCloud platform provides a set of easy-to-use features that supports enterprise organizations to adhere to the wide impact of GDPR, including complete EU data-residency and support of GDPR compliance across both private and public cloud deployments. Additionally, FileCloud is introducing the ability to manage multiple policies across users, including GDPR, which means that organizations can choose to show GDPR specific consent only to users in the EU and not those who reside elsewhere. No other cloud storage provider has announced such a broad set of capabilities to meet GDPR across all requirements. "FileCloud customers now have a platform to adhere to GDPR requirements, providing secure data protection and user privacy while allowing companies to refocus on their product," said Madhan Kanagavel, CEO of FileCloud. "With regulations going into effect in a matter of months, now is the time to ensure your organization is prepared for the impact of GDPR regulation. FileCloud is an optimal platform to help every organization to achieve full compliance in a rapidly changing landscape of government regulations." The GDPR is a broad set of rules governing data protection for all individuals within the EU and carries with it stiff penalties of 4 percent of revenue for companies that fail to comply. The regulations go into effect May 218 and apply not only to companies located within the EU, but any company dealing with user data of EU citizens. As one of the most ambitious and complex regulations passed by any government to protect user privacy, companies of any size may find themselves unprepared. FileCloud's new features support organizations toward compliance of GDPR requirements in the following ways:
"Many well known enterprise file sharing and sync SaaS (News - Alert) are not fully GDPR complaint yet," said Venkat Ramasamy, Chief Operating Officer of FileCloud. "These providers are putting themselves, their customers and partners at huge risk. FileCloud mitigates risk by providing complete control of the software infrastructure to manage data and regulation requirements." The new features will be available December 20, 2017. FileCloud is available for immediate download from our customer portal. For more information please visit www.getfilecloud.com.
