Security

No Rights, No Access

FileDirector is a highly secure Electronic Content Management solution that ensures that documents are only accessible to those user accounts that have been granted permission to them.

Active Directory

FileDirector utilises Active Directory users and groups for access control. No account can gain access to FileDirector without being a member of one of the FileDirector groups.

When a user account is a member of one of the FileDirector groups, this does not by default give them access to any of the data stored in FileDirector.

Where the preference is not to incorporate Active Directory, FileDirector also has its own proprietary security that works in exactly the same manner but is configured within FileDirector.

No Direct Access to Data

FileDirector is a client server solution, with ALL requests from clients for data being serviced by the server application. User accounts do not require permissions to either SQL or the locations where documents are stored.

Communication Encryption

The FileDirector Server is an IIS web service and can therefore take advantage of IIS encryption features, to secure the data being sent to and received from a client. IIS can secure communication using up to a 128bit key, Alternatively, certificates can be implemented to further secure the communication.

Cabinet Security

Documents are stored in FileDirector cabinets. Even if a user account is valid for FileDirector, unless the account or user group has been granted access to a cabinet, the account will
have no access to a cabinet. Additionally, cabinets can be designed so that different document types are created in a single cabinet. A user account or group can be assigned or denied access to each document type within a cabinet. Different levels of access can be assigned to an account or group for each document type they have access to. As an example, in one document type a user may be able to create documents, but in a second document type that same account may only be able to retrieve and view documents.

A further level of security can be applied to secure documents, and this is done at field level. Access to documents can be determined by the value held within fields, either allowing or denying access to accounts or groups.

Auditing

All activity within the FileDirector solution can be logged, and stored for future reporting. For each document, a history is kept that details the activities associated with the document. This history will list, for example, the accounts that have created, modified and retrieved the document. It will also show when those activities took place.


Keep your documents safe and secure.

BAS-SOL is a boutique accounting practice located in Claremont Western Australia. We have been using FileDirector for over 5 years and last year upgraded to the OCR function. The ability to scan all of our clients paperwork and search for information with either a word search, ABN or Tax File Number has proved invaluable in time saving , efficiency and definitely space saving. No more archive boxes stored off site. The system is easy to use both for scanning and retrieval of information which can be accessed on all of our staff’s desktops. We would not chose to operate without FileDirector
