Regulatory compliance with HIPAA and FINRA guidelines provide assurance to financial services and health care organizations. Adherence to the EU Safe Harbor Framework enables Egnyte to address online storage needs for European customers. The security and privacy capabilities of the product provide complete control and protection of data.

Egnyte Security Model

Total Access Control

Access rights govern all access to data within Egnyte HybridCloud. Every person accessing HybridCloud is authenticated for their username and password when they log into their domain (custom web address). Non-interactive or programmatic access to Egnyte is also authenticated. Account administrators define a folder structure on HybridCloud with varying read/write/delete access permissions. Administrators or users can invite suppliers, customers, and business partners to share data with complete control over their access rights.


Data Transfer Security

All communications with Egnyte Cloud File Server, including continuous file backup and access via the web browser or via desktop, is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption over SSL. This ensures that no "sniffers" can be deployed on the Internet traffic between you and Cloud File Server. Unlike email-based communication, most of which flows unprotected over the Internet, your communication with the online file server is completely protected.


Physical Security & Disaster Recovery

Egnyte servers are hosted at Type II, SAS 70 compliant collocation facilities that feature 24-hour manned security, biometric access control, video surveillance and physical locks. These data centers are located on the east and west coasts of the United States and in Western Europe. Egnyte ensures that all your data is secure by having redundant independent storage units using RAID. Redundant real-time data mirrors guarantee 99.97% up time. Data is stored safely in the cloud file server.


Disaster Preparedness

HybridCloud is a key part of any disaster preparedness plan, dramatically increasing chances of business continuity and decreasing losses due to corrupted or missing data and low worker productivity. Using Egnyte continuous file synchronization with local storage, such as PC hard drives, NAS devices and virtual appliances, ensures your files are automatically replicated in the cloud. If a PC or storage device is damaged or lost, files are accessible through a web browser.


Network Security

Best-of-class firewall and router technology, strong SSL encryption and a Network Intrusion Detection System that monitors and proactively blocks worms, hackers, and any other undesirables protect our network.


Datasafe Guarantee

Egnyte provides an industry-leading detailed Service Level Agreement (see our Terms of Service), guaranteeing recovery of your data in the event that Egnyte's ability to operate as a business is compromised.
