Protect sensitive business data without slowing down workflows
fideAS® file enterprise protects sensitive information across the entire organization. Encryption is applied transparently in the background, can be flexibly adapted to protection requirements and remains effective regardless of where data is stored.
- Automatic encryption of sensitive files and directories
- Centralized management of protection levels and access rights
- Transparent use without changing existing workflows
What unprotected business data really costs
Intellectual property, customer information, financial data and confidential documents are among a company’s most valuable assets. Excessive permissions, internal risks, or cyberattacks can result in this data falling into the wrong hands.
$ 4,44 M
average cost of a data breach
A single incident can have a significant financial impact.
$ 178
cost per compromised intellectual property record
Lost know-how remains one of the most expensive consequences of a breach.
60 %
of data breaches involve human actions
Phishing, credential misuse, and mistakes continue to drive incidents.
What fideAS® file enterprise delivers
Three benefits that help organizations reliably protect sensitive information while maintaining existing workflows.
Protection aligned with your organizational structure
Users, groups and directories can be flexibly linked and secured with different protection levels. Personnel or organizational changes can also be accommodated at short notice.
Centralized control, simple administration
Security policies and protection levels are managed through a centralized, user-friendly interface. Because of a high degree of automation, encryption can be managed efficiently without placing additional burdens on employees in their day-to-day work.
Security that grows with your requirements
Role separation, different key media and additional security modules enable configuration according to individual protection requirements. These include Recovery Key, persistent encryption, the four-eyes principle and delta encryption.
How fideAS® file enterprise works
From IT setup to daily operation, a centrally managed, encrypted work environment is created. Protection is implemented in the background and integrates seamlessly into existing organizational structures.
Administer
Centrally define access rights and protection areas
Administrators authenticate themselves in the administration software, create user groups and assign users from a connected directory service, such as Active Directory, to the appropriate groups. Different protection levels can be defined for individual directories. This allows access rights and security requirements to be managed in line with the existing organizational structure and quickly adjusted when changes occur.
Deploy
Securely distribute security information
The key, certificate and configuration information required for users is generated centrally and distributed to the designated client systems. Users receive exactly the information and permissions necessary for their specific tasks. Centralized provisioning reduces manual administrative effort and ensures consistent implementation of defined security policies.
Use
Automatically encrypt and decrypt files
After authentication, the required information is loaded automatically. Files are transparently encrypted and decrypted according to the assigned permissions. Authorized employees can therefore continue working with files and directories as usual. Protection remains active in the background without additional steps or fundamental changes to established workflows.
Protect the data your organization cannot afford to lose
fideAS® file enterprise helps organizations protect sensitive information, control access to it, and securely store it across different storage locations.
Protect sensitive business data
Design data, research documents, contract files, financial information and personal data are automatically encrypted at file and folder level. Group-based permissions and centralized policies ensure that only authorized individuals can access them.
Result:
Organizations maintain control over their most sensitive information and reduce the risk of data loss.
Reduce insider risks
The separation of encryption administration and system administration supports the need-to-know principle. Optionally, security-relevant changes can be safeguarded through a four-eyes approval process.
Result:
Confidential information remains restricted to authorized individuals, and access decisions become more transparent and traceable.
Securely share data with external partners
Persistent encryption ensures that files remain protected even after being copied, sent, or stored on other systems.
Result:
Even if sensitive documents are accidentally shared with customers, suppliers, or project partners, the information they contain remains protected against unauthorized access.
Adapt protection flexibly to corporate structures
Users and groups can be protected with different levels of security. This allows encryption to be centrally managed in a way that aligns with existing structures and specific security requirements.
Result:
The protection of sensitive data can be organized to meet specific needs, even as corporate structures grow or change.

Frequently Asked Questions
fideAS® file enterprise is offered under a subscription model. Licensing depends on factors such as the number of users and servers, the required security modules and the desired implementation and service scope. As requirements vary depending on the organization’s environment, an individual quotation is prepared on this basis.
Yes and no. For authorized users, encryption and decryption take place automatically in the background. Employees can continue to open, edit, save and share files as usual, provided they have the necessary permissions. This transparent approach protects sensitive information without introducing additional manual encryption steps into day-to-day work.
Yes, an existing installation can be upgraded. Since the specific process depends on the version currently in use and the existing system environment, upgrades should be coordinated with the SITS Support. The support team reviews the starting situation and assists with planning the next steps.
Yes. Additional documentation covering features, technical requirements and possible use cases can be requested from the SITS Sales Team. This ensures that interested organizations receive the information they need for technical evaluations, internal reviews, or procurement decisions.
Yes. The product supports integration with Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID. Existing users and groups can therefore be leveraged for managing encryption policies and access rights.
With the optional persistent encryption feature, a file can remain protected even after being copied, sent, or stored on another system. Access remains restricted to the users and groups that are authorized to view the file.
The solution is designed for businesses and public sector organizations that manage highly sensitive information. This includes intellectual property, design data, customer and financial information, contract documents and personal data. The solution is particularly relevant for organizations with stringent internal security requirements or regulatory obligations.
