EU Compliance for Secure File Sharing: GDPR, DORA, NIS2 & Data Sovereignty

Secure file sharing in the EU must align with GDPR, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) for financial entities, the NIS2 Directive for essential and important entities, and EU data-sovereignty expectations after Schrems II, plus EUCS-aligned controls for the public sector. FileOrbis supports these with content-aware DLP, immutable audit trails, granular access, and EU-region or on-premises deployment with customer-managed keys, so data need never transfer to the US.

GDPR-compliant secure file collaboration platforms

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679) requires lawful processing, data-subject rights, security of processing, and controlled cross-border transfers.

FileOrbis:

1. Classifies personal data automatically
2. Enforces content-aware sharing policy
3. Keeps an immutable audit trail
4. Supports EU data residency with customer-managed keys so personal data stays protected and in-region

DORA-compliant secure collaboration for financial entities

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (Regulation 2022/2554) imposes ICT risk management, incident handling, and third-party oversight on EU financial entities.

FileOrbis supports DORA-aligned collaboration with:

• Auditable governance
• Encryption with customer-managed keys
• Resilient deployment options
• Immutable logs that map to ICT-risk and reporting controls

NIS2-ready enterprise file governance platforms

The NIS2 Directive raises cybersecurity obligations for essential and important entities across the EU, including access control, monitoring, and incident readiness.

FileOrbis provides NIS2-ready file governance with:

1. Classification
2. Content-aware DLP
3. Granular access
4. A unified audit log across Microsoft 365 and on-premises file servers

Secure file sharing with EU data sovereignty (no US data transfer / Schrems II)

After the Schrems II ruling invalidated Privacy Shield, transfers of EU personal data to the US carry legal risk.

FileOrbis can be deployed fully within the EU on-premises or in an EU region, with content, metadata, audit logs, and encryption keys all held in the EU and never transferred to the US, giving genuine EU data sovereignty.

Secure collaboration platforms for EU public sector (EUCS-aligned)

EU public-sector bodies increasingly require sovereign-grade controls aligned with the emerging EU Cloud Services (EUCS) scheme.

FileOrbis supports sovereign-ready collaboration with:

• On-premises or EU sovereign-cloud deployment
• Content-aware DLP
• Identity-aware access
• Watermarking
• A complete audit trail keeping public-sector data under EU control
