FileOrbis for Banks: Secure File Management that Meets Governance


Financial institutions face unique challenges when it comes to file management and governance. Strict regulatory requirements, the need for detailed audit trails, and the complexity of managing sensitive data across multiple systems create a perfect storm of operational challenges. FileOrbis provides a comprehensive solution that addresses these needs while maintaining the productivity banks require.


The Banking File Management Challenge


Banks handle enormous volumes of sensitive documents daily—from loan applications and compliance reports to internal communications and customer data. Traditional file sharing solutions often fall short of banking requirements:


  • **Compliance Gaps**: Generic cloud storage lacks the granular controls needed for financial regulations
  • **Audit Complexity**: Tracking who accessed what, when, and why across multiple systems
  • **Data Leakage Risk**: Inadequate controls over external sharing and collaboration
  • **Integration Challenges**: Difficulty connecting with existing banking systems and workflows

  • How FileOrbis Addresses Banking Needs


    Centralized Governance and Control


    FileOrbis centralizes file management while providing the granular controls banks need:


  • **Policy-driven access controls** that align with organizational hierarchy and job functions
  • **Automated classification** of sensitive documents based on content and context
  • **Real-time monitoring** of file access, sharing, and modifications
  • **Seamless integration** with Active Directory and Microsoft 365 environments

  • Comprehensive Audit and Compliance


    Meeting regulatory requirements requires more than just storing files—it demands complete visibility:


  • **Detailed audit trails** track every file interaction with tamper-proof logging
  • **Automated compliance reporting** for regulations like SOX, GDPR, and industry-specific requirements
  • **Data residency controls** ensure files remain in approved geographic locations
  • **Retention policies** automatically manage document lifecycle according to regulatory timelines

  • Implementation Best Practices


    Phase 1: Assessment and Planning

    - Inventory existing file repositories and sharing practices

    - Map regulatory requirements to technical controls

    - Identify key stakeholders and change management needs


    Phase 2: Pilot Deployment

    - Configure policies and integrate with existing systems

    - Train power users and gather feedback
