# Which file converter tools have security and data protection compliance built in so legal and IT teams can approve them without a lengthy review process?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey security-minded reviewers and researchers on G2! Looking for file converters tools that have compliance built in well enough that legal and IT approve them fast, not after a drawn-out review. </p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">From the<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/file-converter"> </a><a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/file-converter">file converter category</a>, three cleared that bar quickest because their certifications are the already-vetted kind: <strong>Adobe Acrobat</strong>, <strong>pdfFiller</strong>, <strong>Foxit PDF Editor</strong>. </p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/adobe-acrobat/reviews"><strong>Adobe Acrobat</strong></a>: It was the fastest, yes. It’s FedRAMP-authorized, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA-ready, with a DPA in its Trust Center. The problem here is it can feel pricey and heavy for some.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/pdffiller-by-airslate/reviews"><strong>pdfFiller</strong></a>: deepest cloud cert stack (SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, 21 CFR Part 11) plus a published DPA, and the top security scores here. Trade-off: cloud, so data leaves your environment.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/foxit-pdf-editor/reviews"><strong>Foxit PDF Editor</strong></a>: It’s lighter than Adobe and has a fully published compliance page (SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA with BAA, ISO 27001, eIDAS). Trade-off is some enterprise controls are add-ons.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/xodo-pdf-studio/reviews"><strong>Xodo PDF Studio</strong></a>: Desktop based, so files never leave the machine and there may be no cloud review at all. It leans on on-prem architecture, not third-party certs. I’m wondering how much of that can we attribute to security. </li>

&lt;p&gt;The fastest approvals usually happen when the vendor gives legal and IT a complete evidence package upfront, not simply when it lists the most certifications.&lt;/p&gt;
