Enhanced Platform Security with M-Files.
Make sure your security is up to standard
Enterprise-grade protection for your documents, data, and business processes.
M‑Files is built with security at its core—giving you full control over who can access what, when, and how. From advanced encryption and access permissions to audit trails and compliance certifications, M‑Files ensures your critical information stays protected without slowing down your workflow.

Security Without Compromise
Use metadata to automatically classify content, trigger retention schedules, and ensure documents are stored, accessed, and disposed of according to policy. No more manual rules or risky shortcuts—just smart, secure automation.
With M‑Files, you don’t need to choose between collaboration and control. Enable secure sharing with internal teams, clients, or contractors—while maintaining full visibility, version control, and compliance oversight.
Secure by Design
M‑Files is hosted on secure cloud infrastructure (Microsoft Azure) and follows the highest standards in data protection:
-
End-to-end encryption (at rest and in transit)
-
Single Sign-On (SSO) and multi-factor authentication
-
Device management integration (MDM/MDM policies)
-
Secure offline access with content encryption
“Technology alone will not improve education, but it can be a powerful part of the solution.”
Pillars of Access
We believe that data must be accessible by those who are granted access, and only by those with granted access. At all times, with no exceptions.
- Always On
- To whom needs it
- Only to who should have it
- Audit trail to prove this
Security features for more control
Human error is often the reason for security breaches and accidental leaks.
To combat this, you need to have safeguards in the system itself to prevent such incidents – and this is exactly what M-Files provides. Proper information management practices are an essential part of your overall data security and integrity. They let you take control of your company’s and your customers’ data.
Policy Enforcement
Automate data security with metadata-driven permissions that allow fully automatic control of access (read, edit, delete, change permissions) for any particular object based on its type or attributes. Permissions change with context of your content so that e.g. when an employee changes jobs, you don’t need to worry about permissions on all the related data.
M-Files supports managing content automatically in complex hierarchical structures, as well as sets permissions automatically based on those structures and reacts to changes.

Version control with automatic audit trail
Preservation of old versions and the ability to revert to previous versions is built into M-Files. Check-in and check-out functions, so you can keep track when a file is being edited and who is making changes. The version history automatically saved every time a change is made in the content or metadata creates a seamless audit trail of who updated what and when, as well as the lifecycle of the document with tracking of logins, logouts, password changes and user group changes.
Automatic workflows
Automatic workflows let you govern the way documents are managed, shared and stored and therefore help you comply with company guidelines, industry standards, and legal regulations. Additionally, permissions can change automatically as the document moves through a workflow, from draft to approval to signature.
Print and download protection
Printing and downloading of documents can also be disabled as well as screenshots of the mobile application. Users can preview documents but they are prevented from printing or downloading.
Compliance and quality management
Ensure your quality processes, compliance, and certifications. M-Files Quality Management Solution (QMS) provides extensive support for regulated businesses.
