Start from a neutral baseline and add what matters to you. Criteria are labeled by source — the platform baseline is architecture-neutral; buyer-contributed criteria are shown separately.
This evaluation is stored in your browser only. We cannot see it, and it is not tied to any account. Save it to a link or create an account to keep it across devices — you can export it at any time either way.
Signing up adds sharing with your team, sending this as an RFP to vendors, and private document sharing. Nothing above is taken away, and nothing here is sent anywhere until you choose to.
BYOK/HYOK or genuine end-to-end encryption is a materially stronger security posture than vendor-held keys with no customer control over decryption.
Controls that survive forwarding (e.g., revocable links, DRM-style protection) are materially stronger than permissions that only apply inside the platform's own interface.
Look for explicit IRM/DRM enforcement and a real external-access audit trail, not just logging of the sending organization's own internal users.
Strong answers explicitly address the cross-border sharing edge case, not just at-rest residency for internally-stored files.
No buyer-contributed criteria yet
Verified buyers can suggest criteria (anonymized before pooling).
Pre-share enforcement (block or require approval) is materially stronger than post-hoc detection or alerting after a sensitive file has already left the organization.
Automated, comprehensive revocation across all previously distributed links is materially stronger than a manual, error-prone per-file cleanup process.
A real, named-customer adoption figure matters — a security tool with low actual adoption doesn't reduce risk no matter how capable it is on paper.
Immutable, near-real-time, exportable logs are materially stronger than logs only viewable inside the vendor's own console with meaningful export lag.
Look for transparent, predictable pricing with explicit disclosure of any per-GB or large-transfer fees — hidden egress costs are a common pricing trap in file-sharing/storage products.
Strong answers describe a fast, specific forensic reconstruction capability with a real turnaround-time figure — this is the highest-stakes use case (a confirmed leak), not just preventive access control.
Large-file/high-volume transfer is a distinct performance challenge from typical small-document sharing — ask for specific measured figures at realistic large-file scale, not just small-file benchmarks.
High friction for external recipients (mandatory account creation, app install) reduces real-world adoption — ask for a measured completion-rate figure from a customer reference, not just a feature description.
Ask for an honest mobile-versus-desktop feature-parity comparison; a degraded mobile experience is a common real gap that should be disclosed rather than assumed away.
Look for a clear answer on this integration boundary; redundant, disconnected DLP enforcement between the file-sharing platform and the customer's broader DLP stack creates real policy-management complexity.
A real, documented API is materially more useful for a team wanting to build secure sharing into their own applications than being limited to the standalone product UI.
A ransomware event in the sharer's environment could otherwise propagate to or destroy shared files — ask for a specific answer on version history/immutability that provides real ransomware resilience for shared content.
