How to Review Cybersecurity Before Adopting a New File-Sharing Platform

11/10/2026

A new file-sharing platform can improve collaboration but introduce external access, data residency, retention, and audit gaps. Users may begin sharing files before business ownership and security settings are established.

What to check

Assess access controls, MFA, external sharing, encryption, data location, retention, audit export, backup, admin roles, and vendor incident process. Identify what existing service it will replace and how data moves between them.

Recommended next step

Approve a named owner, configure restrictive defaults, and pilot with non-sensitive files. Review user access and migration controls before expanding to client or regulated content.
