FAQs
Your Top Questions Answered
01. What ISO standards does MX comply with?
MX is built to support businesses aiming to align with key ISO information security standards, particularly ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27018. These frameworks outline best practices for managing data confidentiality, availability, and integrity – and MX’s architecture was developed to meet those benchmarks.
While MX itself doesn’t issue ISO certification, it provides the infrastructure and controls necessary for companies that need to demonstrate compliance during audits or internal assessments. This includes robust access control, encrypted file handling, audit logs, and secure data residency options.
Relevant ISO-aligned features include:
- ISO 27001 Support: Enforces secure access, encryption at rest and in transit, and continuous monitoring across all file exchanges.
- ISO 27018 Alignment: Helps protect personally identifiable information (PII) in cloud-based environments through named-user access and detailed logging.
- Zero Trust Architecture: Every file action is validated, helping maintain control over internal and external data exchanges.
- Full Audit Trails: Retain evidence of access and transfer history to support ISO-aligned reporting.
To explore how MX fits into wider governance frameworks, see our overview of secure enterprise file sharing software.
MX gives businesses a practical way to uphold ISO security standards – helping you demonstrate responsibility, reduce risk, and stay audit-ready.
02. How does MX’s platform ensure ISO-compliant data management?
MX supports ISO-compliant data management by embedding the principles of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27018 into its platform design. These standards cover information security management systems (ISMS) and the protection of personally identifiable information (PII) in cloud environments – both of which are critical for regulated organisations.
MX gives you the tools to enforce confidentiality, integrity, availability, and traceability of data – key pillars of ISO frameworks. From secure file sharing to activity monitoring, every action is aligned with best practices for secure information handling.
ISO-supportive platform capabilities include:
- Access Control & Identity Management: All file transfers are tied to named users with role-based permissions and audit logs.
- Encryption & Anonymisation: Files are anonymised, sharded, and protected using quantum-secure encryption both at rest and in transit.
- Auditability & Documentation: Real-time logs support evidence generation for ISO audits and ongoing compliance efforts.
- Data Location Control: Choose where files are stored to maintain sovereignty and support regional ISO-aligned policies. See more on our secure storage solutions.
By aligning technical controls with internationally recognised standards, MX empowers your business to manage data securely and meet ISO requirements with confidence.
MX helps organisations establish a robust, ISO-aligned data handling environment – simplifying audit prep and reinforcing internal governance practices.
03. Can MX restrict sharing by department or project team?
Yes – MX allows you to restrict file sharing based on department, project team, or individual user roles, supporting the ISO 27001 principle of “least privilege.” This ensures that users can only access the files they need for their role, reducing risk and enhancing internal data governance.
Whether you’re managing teams across legal, finance, HR, or external vendors, MX gives you the tools to segment access by function – while still enabling seamless collaboration across the organisation. These controls help you stay aligned with both GDPR and UK DPA requirements for access limitation and auditability.
Access segmentation capabilities include:
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Assign view, edit, or share permissions based on a user’s department or project assignment.
- Group-Level Restrictions: Limit folders or files to specific internal teams or external collaborators.
- Secure Upload Portals: Set up department-specific portals for document intake – explore this on our upload portal page.
- Audit Trails by User Group: Monitor activity logs filtered by team or role to support internal reviews and ISO audit prep.
As outlined by ISO/IEC 27001, limiting data access to authorised personnel is a core requirement – MX puts that principle into action through flexible, policy-driven controls.
MX enables ISO-aligned data segmentation – giving your business precise control over who can access what, based on role, team, or department.
04. What features in MX support ISO standards for data security?
MX is designed to align with internationally recognised frameworks like ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002, ensuring that data is secure, auditable, and access-controlled across every file transfer and collaboration. These standards guide how organisations manage risks, safeguard data, and demonstrate compliance through structured, technology-driven safeguards – all of which are built into MX by default.
From access controls to encryption and auditing, MX delivers the capabilities needed to meet the confidentiality, integrity, and availability principles required by ISO-certified environments.
Core ISO-aligned features include:
- Granular Access Management: Role-based permissions ensure users only see or interact with files relevant to them – supporting ISO access control objectives.
- End-to-End Encryption: Files are encrypted at rest and in transit using quantum-safe protocols and MX’s proprietary ASR methodology.
- Detailed Audit Trails: Every file interaction is logged and time-stamped for integrity verification and incident response support.
- Region-Specific Hosting: Control where data is stored to support local compliance and reduce cross-border risk exposure.
MX’s compliance-focused architecture supports your ISO certification efforts by reducing human error, strengthening data governance, and providing clear visibility into how files are managed.
MX delivers enterprise-ready features that help meet ISO standards – providing the operational security, control, and documentation needed to maintain ISO-compliant data environments.
05. Can MX help my business prepare for ISO audits?
Yes – MX provides the structure and tools needed to streamline ISO audit preparation, particularly for standards like ISO/IEC 27001. Our platform supports key control areas, including access management, encryption, audit logging, and data lifecycle controls, helping you demonstrate full alignment with ISO’s information security requirements.
MX helps reduce manual prep by delivering automated, exportable logs and enforceable policy settings that auditors expect to see. Whether you’re pursuing certification or maintaining it, MX provides clear documentation of how your organisation secures and manages data.
ISO audit support features include:
- Granular Access Controls: Define who can view, edit, or share files based on role, department, or project.
- Complete Audit Trails: Log every file event – upload, access, download, changes – for compliance and traceability.
- Data Retention Policies: Automatically apply expiry and deletion policies to align with ISO 27001 Annex A controls.
- Encryption & Risk Mitigation: Use quantum-safe encryption to meet data confidentiality and integrity objectives.
MX’s approach reflects ISO audit best practices outlined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
With MX, ISO audit preparation becomes a built-in part of your file sharing and management process – making compliance easier and more consistent across your organisation.
