Compliance FAQ

MyWorkDrive is a secure remote file access solution that enables users to access and collaborate on files stored on both on-premises and cloud-based file servers without a VPN, syncing, or migrating data. It runs on your existing Windows infrastructure and integrates with Active Directory or Entra ID, providing secure access via web browser, mapped drive, or mobile apps. MyWorkDrive is not a hosted storage provider.

MyWorkDrive installs on a Windows Server and connects to your existing file shares, whether on-premises or in the cloud. It provides secure, VPN-free access to those files through mapped drive, web browser, or mobile app clients. Users log in with their existing Active Directory or Entra ID credentials, and original file permissions are enforced. Files always stay on your servers and are never stored by MyWorkDrive.

MyWorkDrive makes secure remote file access simple and seamless, without the need for a VPN or file syncing. It enhances productivity with real-time collaboration through Office Online, while keeping files stored safely on your own servers. Built-in support for Active Directory or Entra ID, data leak prevention, two-factor authentication, and detailed audit logging ensure enterprise-grade security and compliance.

File sharing compliance is the use of policies, security controls, and audit processes to store, access, and share files in a way that meets applicable legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements.

File sharing compliance is important for regulated industries because they handle sensitive data and must prove that access, storage, and sharing are controlled, monitored, and protected.

Non-compliant file sharing can lead to data exposure, regulatory penalties, legal liability, audit failures, and loss of customer trust.

The standards that apply depend on the organization and data type, but common examples include HIPAA, GDPR, CMMC, FINRA, FERPA, and SOC 2 requirements.

Data that typically requires compliant file sharing includes personal information, financial records, healthcare data, legal documents, education records, and confidential business files.

Secure file sharing is the controlled way to share files using strong authentication, permission-based access, encryption, and audit logging instead of open links or unmanaged syncing.

Encryption in transit protects data as it moves across networks (for example with TLS), and encryption at rest protects stored data through the storage system's cryptographic controls.

File sharing compliance means applying required security, access control, auditing, retention, and privacy rules when files are stored, shared, and accessed.

Audit logs capture who accessed or changed a file, what action occurred, and when it happened, and they are typically retained and monitored according to your compliance policy.
