How to Review Cybersecurity Risks Before Using a Public File Conversion Website

A public file conversion site may receive contracts, spreadsheets, or client documents that contain sensitive information. Convenience does not reveal how uploads are stored, shared, or deleted.

What to check

Identify the data classification and whether the provider retains files, uses uploads for analytics or model training, shares subprocessors, and supports deletion. Check whether an approved internal or contracted tool already exists.

Recommended next step

Do not upload confidential data until the service is approved for that data type. Use an approved tool, minimize or redact content, and document a review path for future requests.
