How long does it take to migrate from legacy FTP to Kiteworks?

Migration typically takes several weeks depending on system complexity. We use a phased approach that ensures business continuity. Our expert team supports every step of the process.

How does Kiteworks ensure UK GDPR compliance for data transfers?

Kiteworks offers end-to-end encryption, pseudonymisation, and complete audit trails in line with Article 32 of UK GDPR. All processing activities are documented, and data subject rights are supported. Hosting in the UK is available.

Will Kiteworks integrate with existing ERP or CRM systems?

Yes. Kiteworks offers RESTful APIs and pre-built connectors for platforms like SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft, and more. Integration is seamless, requiring no changes to your existing business processes.

What security standards does Kiteworks meet for sensitive data transfers?

Kiteworks is ISO 27001 certified, SOC II Type 2 audited, and FedRAMP High Ready. It employs AES-256 encryption, a Zero-Trust architecture, and continuous security monitoring.

How is Kiteworks different from standard cloud storage or legal portals?

Kiteworks provides private branded portals, integrations with M365 and iManage, role-based access controls, and automated GDPR documentation – enabling full control over sensitive client communications.

Is Kiteworks suitable for eDiscovery, litigation hold, or due diligence?

Yes. With immutable audit logs, time-limited access, and full chain of custody, Kiteworks meets the requirements for eDiscovery, legal hold, and secure evidence management.

How does Kiteworks reduce overhead in client communications?

Self-service portals, automated permission management, and centralised data rooms save significant time in coordination, compliance, and documentation.

Where is Kiteworks hosted and does it meet European compliance requirements?

Kiteworks can be deployed on-premises or in ISO 27001-certified data centers in Germany or the UK. It supports UK GDPR, §203 StGB, NIS-2, and IT-SiG 2.0 requirements.
