Control access and track every activity

You maintain control over which users have access to your data. Approved users must verify their identity via two-factor authentication (2FA) to access it. SmartVault users can also see exactly what’s happening, like who created, accessed, downloaded, and deleted documents. This audit history is required to prove compliance for some industries and businesses.

Back up data securely

Automatic data backup means you won’t lose anything to natural disasters, power failures, or human errors. Your documents and metadata are always stored using highly redundant replicated storage. Multiple copies of metadata and documents are stored in multiple geographical locations and backed up regularly to ensure data availability.

Frequently Asked Questions About Protecting Client and Business Information

How do you secure client data?
As we continue moving forward through an era of great digital transformation, making sure your company’s data and the data clients entrust your business with is paramount. A great first step is to research and carefully implement a data security plan that helps you keep all that data safe while satisfying compliance requirements. Another great first step toward securing client data is to move your document storage to a highly secure, cloud-based document management system.
What is the benefit of two-factor authentication (2FA)?
Two-Factor authentication (2FA) typically involves sending a code to your registered mobile device after you’ve entered your username and password into a website that has enabled Two-Factor authentication. After a successful username/password entry, the website will text you a code which you will input into the website to gain full access. More and more sites continue are moving towards this sign-in model.
How can I create a secure way for my clients to share files with me online?
A client portal is a secure, private, and authenticated online platform that empowers businesses to better collaborate with clients online.

A client portal will typically sit on the company website, with a link for clients to log in with a username and password. To create a client portal for your business, consider partnering with a trusted vendor who can provide a client portal and an integrated document management system (DMS). A document management system — also known as document management software — allows businesses to quickly and securely store, organize, access, and share documents. It’s a core part of having a beneficial client portal experience.

What do secure document management systems and client portals provide?

Unlimited Cloud Storage
Standardize and centralize documents with unlimited online document storage.

Unlimited Number of Users
A client portal should scale with you as your business and clients grow.

How do secure client portals benefit customers?
Your customers want to access the information they need at a time that suits them. You will find you have happier customers when they are able to find and share information outside of normal working hours. Also, if your client portal integrates with eSign technology like DocuSign, it means they can sign important documents directly within the portal. This eliminates the need to print, sign, copy, and send (or post!) a signed document. The time and hassle your clients save by not having to go through those steps should be greatly appreciated by all.
How can I securely share files online for my business and clients?
An integrated document management system and client portal that’s built with security and compliance in mind will help you safeguard your data. Your solution should provide:

Encryption of data during transit and while at rest.
When sensitive data is at rest or being exchanged over the internet, it’s crucial that your data is encrypted every step of the way so no one can hijack your information and use it for malicious purposes. By using advanced encryption methods such as SSL and AES-256, a cloud DMS could provide stronger protection for your data.

Controlled access to information.
How your information is stored and who has access to your information are critical to your overall security and compliance framework. With a security and compliance-first cloud-based DMS, you can easily set granular access permissions to folders and documents, then allow access to files through authenticated logins only. These added security and compliance steps help enhance your data and document security measures, which could help you stay more compliant with various regulations.

Secure data backup.
Your documents and metadata are always stored using highly redundant replicated storage. Multiple copies of metadata and documents are stored in multiple geographical locations and backed up regularly to ensure data availability.

An activity log.
An activity log is an automatically generated, time-stamped trail of all activities that happened in your document management system. It tracks all events from all users — including document creation, download, and deletion — and generates an audit trail of what’s happening in your account. No person, including the engineers of the platform can make any changes to this trail, making it the authoritative record for auditing purposes. This feature is a requirement from several industry-specific compliance regulations. Depending on your industry, it could very well be the single most important determining factor during your cloud DMS vendor selection process.
