Kiteworks® Private Content Network (PCN) enables companies and organizations to share sensitive data with trusted parties via email, file sharing, and transfers, while ensuring top-level security, governance, and compliance.
01
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) are used for file transfers. FTP is suitable for anonymous or non-sensitive transfers but is insecure as data can be intercepted. SFTP, using Secure Shell (SSH), encrypts data and requires authentication, providing a secure channel that protects information from being easily read or decoded even if intercepted.
SFTP operates with one secure connection established by SSH, while FTP uses two channels for file transfers.
02
A Virtual Data Room (VDR) is a secure cloud-based platform that enables the sharing, downloading, and collaboration of sensitive data and files.
Companies utilize VDRs to safely share confidential information with clients or during transactions with other businesses. Within Kiteworks®, VDR environment and user permissions are managed to facilitate easy document review, download, and editing. Users can access the VDR with roles such as "Viewer," "Editor," or "Manager." When permissions are set to "view only" or "edit only," the original document is not shared; instead, access is provided via streaming, allowing secure interaction with the content. Many companies leverage this feature for M&A due diligence and engagements. Additionally, VDRs streamline processes for sharing confidential documents during legal proceedings or with investors. In the life sciences sector, companies use VDRs to share sensitive research data with external partners for collaborative projects.

Kiteworks® Private Content Network (PCN) enables companies and organizations to securely share critical data with trusted parties via email, file sharing, and transfers while adhering to top security, governance, and regulatory standards.
Law firms and financial institutions require a secure and user-friendly program to share sensitive information such as PII, PHI, IP, or financial statements. Traditional email lacks security and poses a risk of data breaches, while printing and sending documents is inefficient. In contrast, Kiteworks® offers encrypted information sharing with controlled access permissions, making it a safe and convenient solution for sharing sensitive data via email.
During litigation or M&A, reviewing large volumes of sensitive corporate data can be challenging. Kiteworks® offers a secure file-sharing platform that maintains data integrity and security while enabling the efficient sharing of large datasets.
Financial and government institutions need tools to track and manage data in transit or at rest. Traditional email and file-sharing methods lack tracking capabilities for shared data. Kiteworks® solves this by integrating communication channels, offering audit trails for compliance, and sending automatic notifications when recipients download files, thus updating access logs.
Employees and researchers in companies and research institutions frequently share information and data for project collaboration. However, typical file hosting services may lead to security breaches, data leaks, or damage during file exchanges. Kiteworks® enhances security by sending secure links instead of attachments and allows easy control over access permissions, ensuring that only authorized individuals can collaborate.
Companies with strict security requirements and government agencies can install Kiteworks® on-premise or use its FedRAMP-certified cloud hosting. Kiteworks® conducts annual security audits and provides monthly compliance reports. Clients can choose to manage their own data protection or utilize Kiteworks®' 24/7 monitoring services, ensuring flexibility and enhanced security.
