Tresorit

Tresorit manages securing sensitive files and ensuring compliance in enterprise environments through its robust cloud storage and file sharing solution. The core of Tresorit's architecture is its end-to-end encryption, which ensures that files are encrypted on the client-side, meaning only the user and those they share with can access the data, not even Tresorit itself.

This zero-knowledge approach is complemented by advanced security features such as secure external file sharing controls, including password protection, link expirations, and access limits. Tresorit also integrates with various tools and platforms, including Microsoft 365, Active Directory, and SIEM systems, enhancing security and productivity across the organization.

From an operational standpoint, Tresorit provides admins with granular control over user management, device access, and policy enforcement. This includes 2-Step Verification, IP filtering, and the ability to revoke access from lost or stolen devices. The platform also offers detailed activity logging and audit trails, ensuring transparency and compliance with regulations like GDPR, ISO 27001, and HIPAA.

Key technical details include the use of multi-certified and audited security standards, such as ISO 27001 and the Swiss Digital Trust Label. Tresorit's architecture supports real-time collaboration through features like Collaborative Links, which enable secure two-way file collaboration with external partners without requiring them to be Tresorit users. Additionally, the platform supports Single Sign-On (SSO) integration with Azure AD and Okta to streamline user access and administration.

However, it's important to note that while Tresorit offers robust security, the complexity of managing end-to-end encryption and granular access controls can introduce operational overhead, particularly in large-scale deployments. Admins must carefully manage policies, monitor device access, and ensure compliance with various regulatory standards, which can be resource-intensive.
