What is Data Sharing?

With the introduction of External Assessment, Ostendio platform now introduces the ability to share your data with external Ostendio Clients.

Here's how you'll be able to share your data:

Data Sharing in Auditor Connect 

Data Sharing provides the ability for you to share your MyVCM entities and artifacts directly with your auditor from directly within your MyVCM instance. This exponentially cuts down the time it takes to complete your audit, utilizing MyVCM as both the system of record for your evidence, as well as the tool that will be used to complete your 3rd-party audit.

With that efficiency, we realize the need to be able to protect when your Ostendio data is made available. Data Sharing provides the ability to control when someone can view the artifact all together, or can download any files or attachments associated with the Ostendio entity or artifact.

Utilizing the evidence feature in the Assessments module, an Ostendio Audit Partner can view and download your data (artifacts, files) uploaded as evidence on an external assessment in which you have provided your External Auditor access through data sharing.

How to Use Data Sharing

Open any external assessment, to manage the data-sharing option for the auditor. In External Assessment, the information tab has the Data Sharing Option.

Next, a window popup allows you to choose the option to restrict or permit the ability of your External Auditor to View or Download your Ostendio artifacts and entities. 

 Data Sharing is a powerful new way to improve the way organizations share sensitive data to improve efficiency, but also how they're able to control the flow of that data once it leaves their environment.
