Kiteworks’ mission is to empower organizations to effectively manage risk in every send, share, receive, and save of sensitive content. To this end, we created a platform that delivers content governance, compliance, and protection to customers. The platform unifies, tracks, controls, and secures sensitive content moving within, into, and out of their organization, significantly improving risk management and ensuring regulatory compliance on all sensitive content communications. Any professional or organization who sends, shares, receives or saves sensitive content should govern and protect it with Kiteworks. It’s as simple as that. With Kiteworks, CIOs and CISOs gain complete visibility, compliance and control over IP, PII, PHI, and other sensitive content across all 3rd party communication channels, including email, file sharing, mobile, enterprise apps, web portals, SFTP, and MFT. When users click the Kiteworks button, they know it’s the safe, secure way to share sensitive information with the outside world. With on-premise, private cloud, hybrid and FedRAMP deployment options, the Kiteworks platform provides the security and governance CISOs need to protect their organizations, mitigate risk, and adhere to rigorous compliance regulations such as NIST 800-171, HIPAA, SOX, GDPR, GLBA, FISMA, and others. * * * Seller [Kiteworks](https://www.g2.com/sellers/kiteworks) Discussions [Kiteworks Community](https://www.g2.com/products/kiteworks/discuss) Languages Supported Arabic, German, English, French, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish Solution Type All-in-One Overview by Rob Dougherty Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 3 months ### Return on Investment 16 months [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/kiteworks/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Progress ShareFile](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Progress ShareFile") Progress ShareFile 4.2/5(1,541) ](https://www.g2.com/products/progress-sharefile/reviews) [ ![GoAnywhere MFT](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "GoAnywhere MFT") GoAnywhere MFT 4.6/5(456) ](https://www.g2.com/products/goanywhere-mft/reviews) [ ![Progress MOVEit](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Progress MOVEit") Progress MOVEit 4.4/5(529) ](https://www.g2.com/products/progress-moveit/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/kiteworks/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 121 real user reviews.
