The Challenge
Summary of Challenges
- Emails did not provide security
- Members had to carry around physical copies of documents
- File sharing and storage was inconvenient
- PIPEDA compliance could be improved
The College regularly shared sensitive documents and other correspondence with its committee and council members. Previously, this information was shared via email or given to members in the form of hardcopy packages. Members carried these packages with them in suitcases or stored them on CDs and USBs which posed several challenges:
- Emails did not encrypt files and messages
- Paper documents, CDs, and USBs could easily be misplaced
- It was inconvenient to carry files from one location to another
- Compliance with PIPEDA could be improved
The College needed a new solution that would improve the way its committee and council members received, sent, and stored confidential information. The goal was to provide members with a secure, PIPEDA-compliant, cloud-based platform that enabled them to access their files from anywhere and communicate with the college at any time.
The Solution
The College chose TitanFile as the winning solution because it was equipped with state-of-the-art security features, exceptionally easy to use, and met all of the College’s compliance needs. TitanFile ensured that all confidential files and messages exchanged within the organization or with outside parties were encrypted in transit and at rest. All activity was tracked in detailed audit logs.
In addition, the College was very impressed at how using TitanFile was really no different than using email. Onboarding new committee and council members took only 5 minutes before they could start using the intuitive platform to access files virtually and exchange them securely.
“I remember thinking ‘TitanFile can’t be this easy to use.’ But it was. Onboarding new employees only takes 5 minutes and it really shows just how intuitive TitanFile really is.”
– Ann Chipman, IT Manager at the CPSNS
