    Does Managed File Transfer Make You Compliant? Understanding MFT and Compliance

    A common misconception in the world of file transfer is that simply using secure protocols such as SFTP or implementing a Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution automatically makes an organisation compliant. In this episode of The Transfer Files, James and Steph explore what compliance really means in practice, why so many organisations fall into the trap of assuming compliance, and how MFT fits into a much bigger picture - especially when it comes to industries with vastly different regulatory requirements. This episode covers the different compliance requirements facing organisations across healthcare, financial services, defence and other highly regulated sectors, while examining the role visibility, reporting and Zero Trust security play in protecting sensitive data. Whether you're responsible for secure file transfer, data security, compliance, governance or risk management, this episode provides practical insights into selecting and implementing an MFT solution that aligns with your organisation's compliance objectives.

    Shadow IT Risks and Zero Trust Security Explained

    Welcome to Episode Five of The Transfer Files Podcast .In this episode, hosts James and Steph are joined by returning guest Dave Hendley, Head of Technical at Pro2col, to unpack two of the most talked-about topics shaping cybersecurity today: Shadow IT and the rise of the Zero Trust security mindset.Shadow IT is expanding rapidly, driven by unsanctioned file sharing tools, creating hidden and unmanaged data transfer and compliance risks across organisations.

    Supply Chain Risk and Security Explained

    Welcome back to episode 3 of The Transfer Files where we dive into one of the most pressing issues facing businesses today - supply chain risk and security. In this episode, James and Steph unpack what is meant by “supply chain” in the context of file transfer, exploring not just the internal movement of data within an organisation, but also how businesses interact with external partners and suppliers. They discuss why supply chain security has come under increased scrutiny, citing recent high-profile cyber breaches that have had devastating financial and reputational consequences for companies across the globe. Listeners will also gain insights into how a secure managed file transfer system can help protect the supply chain, provided it is properly maintained, updated, and supported. They also highlight “red flags” for IT teams, such as lack of ownership of data transfer processes or not knowing what sensitive data is moving in and out of the organisation, and why addressing these issues proactively is essential.
