How does FileCloud maintain and monitor compliance?
We maintain compliance year-round through continuous control monitoring, regular risk assessments, documented change management, and quarterly internal reviews. Findings are tracked to resolution, key programs are periodically tested, and employees complete ongoing training and policy attestations to ensure controls remain effective between independent audits.
How do your security controls align across multiple compliance frameworks?
Our security and privacy controls are designed using a unified control framework and mapped across applicable standards such as SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, and related regulatory requirements to reduce gaps and ensure consistent implementation.
How do you handle overlapping privacy laws across regions?
We maintain a global privacy baseline aligned with leading regulations and apply additional measures where regional or sector-specific requirements apply.
How does your compliance program support customer regulatory requirements?
Our controls are designed to help customers meet their own compliance obligations by providing a secure, compliant platform and relevant assurance documentation.
