One Audit Trail Across Your File Storage

Your files live in different places. Your audit evidence shouldn't. MyWorkDrive provides unified logging, SIEM export, and alerts across SMB shares, Azure Files, SharePoint, and OneDrive. No migration required. No reworked permissions.

What If Your Existing Storage Was Already Audit-Ready?

Most compliance tools only work after you move files into their platform. That turns every audit into a storage project. New permissions, new workflows, new risk.

MyWorkDrive takes a different approach. It generates audit evidence from the storage you already run. Files stay where they are. Permissions stay authoritative. You gain a unified view of file access without changing how your teams work.

When an auditor asks for access logs, you pull them from one place. When security investigates an incident, they see a consistent timeline, not fragments stitched together from three different systems.

Audit Trails
That Stand Up to Scrutiny

When someone asks "who accessed this folder last quarter?", you shouldn't be guessing or piecing together logs from multiple systems. MyWorkDrive records the activity that matters so you can answer with confidence.

Authentication

Login attempts, identity provider details, source IP, device identifiers

File Operations

Opens, downloads, uploads, saves, deletes with full path and result

Sharing Activity

Link creation, revocation, access events, guest user activity

Admin Changes

Policy updates, device approvals, configuration changes

Visibility Where Your Security Team Already Works

If your team lives in a SIEM, they shouldn't have to learn another console to investigate file access. MyWorkDrive exports events via Syslog so file activity appears alongside the rest of your infrastructure.

Configure Syslog export over UDP or TCP to match your environment. Choose standard logging for normal monitoring or debug logging for troubleshooting. Events include user, source IP, device identifier, share, path, operation, result, and bytes transferred.

The result: incidents are investigated in one place with a consistent timeline. No context switching.

Alerts for the Events That Matter

Audit logs are necessary. Alerts are how you catch problems before they become incidents.

Set thresholds for activity patterns that warrant attention. When exceeded, MyWorkDrive sends email notifications via your SMTP server. Thresholds are adjustable based on what's normal for your organization. A design firm downloading large files looks different from a finance team that rarely exports anything.

Configurable alerts include:

Excessive downloads
Unusual sharing
Bulk deletions
Failed logins

Keep Data Residency Simple

Compliance often comes down to one question: where does the data live?

With MyWorkDrive, the answer is straightforward. Files stay in your storage: SMB shares, Azure Files, or SharePoint. File content does not persist on MyWorkDrive servers. For environments that require complete data residency during editing, on-premises Office Online Server keeps documents inside your perimeter.

Designed to Support Your Compliance Program

MyWorkDrive helps support programs like HIPAA, CMMC, GDPR, FINRA, and similar requirements through access controls, audit logging, and evidence generation. Files remain in customer-controlled storage.

Whether you're preparing for a HIPAA audit, working toward CMMC certification, or demonstrating GDPR compliance, key evidence is already being collected.

Detailed control mappings are available on request. Your organization remains responsible for its compliance program. MyWorkDrive provides the controls and evidence.

HIPAA Healthcare The US law governing how patient health information is stored, shared, and accessed. PHI never leaves your storage, and a Business Associate Agreement is available on request.
CMMC Defence The Department of Defense certification for contractors handling controlled unclassified information. Self-hosted deployment keeps CUI in approved environments, with mappings to the AC, AU, IA, and SC control families available for assessment prep.
GDPR Privacy The EU regulation requiring organizations to know where personal data resides and who can reach it. File content never touches MyWorkDrive servers, so there is no new data processor to disclose and files stay in the jurisdiction you choose.
FINRA Financial The US regulator for broker-dealers, whose rules require firms to retain records and produce them during examinations. View-only mode with watermarking and expiring password-protected links let firms show examiners exactly how sensitive documents were handled.
FIPS Encryption The US government standard for validated cryptography, required for federal agencies and many contractors. MyWorkDrive holds FIPS 186-4 RSA algorithm validation (NIST Certificate #3018) and supports Windows FIPS mode.
FedRAMP Federal Cloud The US federal program that authorizes cloud services for government use. Deploy on your own infrastructure or Azure Government, with browser editing available through FedRAMP-authorized Microsoft 365.
CJIS Law Enforcement The FBI security policy for systems that touch criminal justice information. Authentication stays with your identity provider, including its MFA, and every file event is logged with user identity and source IP.
FERPA Education The US federal law protecting student education records. Records remain under existing AD group permissions, and browser sessions on shared lab machines leave no residual files behind.
