Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The Accellion Secure File Sharing and Governance Platform offers a secure data transfer channel that protects customersÆ sensitive information in transit and at rest. It provides granular policy controls and a full audit trail to comply with regulations such as HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST 800-53 and -171, ITAR and EAR. Users share files in folders, SFTP and secure email, via plugins, web, and mobile interfaces. The Accellion Cryptographic Module is a component of the Accellion Secure File Sharing and Governance Platform (kiteworks).
