Microsoft GCC High Cloud has been designed and implemented for the US Department of Defence (DoD) and organizations who hold or process the DoD’s information or are subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations. As part of this there is the need to work with data (both send and receive) in a secure manner. Due to this requirement SFTP is a preferred protocol when working with sensitive information.
When looking at solutions in the market it is important to ensure that your data is secure at all stages of the data lifecycle. One way of ensuring this is to have full control of your data at rest, as well being able to trust the software that is actually transferring the data and acting as the gateway.
For this you can consider Couchdrop’s Cloud SFTP and MFT solution a secure platform through it’s SOC2 compliance, ability to run in any cloud infrastructure, but more importantly, all data at rest is controlled and owned by your organisation within your already established storage platform (SharePoint, Azure Blob or File). Couchdrop does not store, sync or hold any of your data. As it is processed, it is streamed in real-time to your storage endpoint completely using memory, nothing remains once the transfer has completed, this ensures that your data is only stored where you want it to be.
Another benefit is that Couchdrop is fully cloud native and as expected it’s public infrastructure will not do for GCC compliance. With this Couchdrop’s Cloud SFTP and MFT solution can remain fully hosted and managed, but in your cloud platform of choice, in this case it can be hosted in Azure’s infrastructure meaning that your solution remains compliant at all stages of its life cycle.
Other functionality that is required for GCC is the integration with federated services to have a single point of truth and centralized control for user accounts to simplify the onboarding, auditing and off-boarding of new clients and partners. Additionally with Couchdrop’s Cloud SFTP and MFT you can route all logging and events to a SIEM for a single plane of visibility and continuous monitoring of your data workflows.
Given the need for SFTP and GCC it is worth reaching out to sales@couchdrop.io to discuss more, access SOC2 reports and security whitepapers and other security related documentation.
