Full compliance with 201 CMR 17.00 is difficult, not to mention costly especially for a SMB in this economy. Fortunately, LeapFile has a solution.
What is LeapFile?
Founded in 2004, LeapFile is the industry leader in secure managed file transfer solutions for businesses. It is an on-demand scalable SaaS, meaning no costly investments in hardware. Not only is LeapFile cost-effective but it is also a lot faster to implement with no IT infrastructure requirements, extremely easy to use (it works just like an email service or you can hook it up to your Microsoft Outlook), extremely reliable and extremely secure.
How it Works
Original methods of electronic file transfer include email attachments, file transfer protocol (FTP) sites, and courier delivery. However, in 2010, when speed, efficiency, and security are of the upmost importance (and with the rise in security breaches in particular and the resultant laws and statutes that have recently gone into effect to secure against such problems) traditional transfer methods are now decidedly antiquated. Email is never a fully secure option and large files cannot be accommodated. Couriers are slower and costly. FTP sites are far too complicated and not worth the bother. So here comes LeapFile.
If you know how to use email, you already know how to use LeapFile. The process is that simple. You also have the option of tethering your LeapFile account to Outlook. Step 1: after you log into LeapFile, click on New Transfer and enter in the recipient’s email address, the subject line, and a brief message. Step 2: upload the files you want to send and then send the message with the attached files. And your work is done. An email from LeapFile will be sent to the recipient, informing them that there are files to pick up. They are provided with a unique link in the email which will take them to an encrypted web-page to view and download the files. Note: they will be prompted to enter a password for authentication. After the files are downloaded, they will be deleted from the LeapFile server and you will receive an email notification that the transfer has been completed. All LeapFile activity is logged within your user account for tracking and reporting purposes so you know exactly when a file was downloaded and who downloaded it. It is that easy and that secure.
201 Compliance
LeapFile will assist you in the technical aspects of compliance as all data is SSL encrypted and sent to an SAS70 Type II Certified Data Center. And with its best-in-class SLA with a reported 100% network uptime and 99.9% application uptime, it can be completely relied upon to protect your organization’s personal information.
Conclusion
If your organization lacks the funding to sink larger investments into 201 compliance LeapFile is a wonderful alternative to the more expensive solution of implementing additional IT infrastructure.
