Moments like these can pose a serious risk to an organization but mitigating them is easier with Mattermost’s Compliance export capabilities which integrate with legal discovery software to assist investigations. We often receive customer questions after an internal issue surfaces - such as one of their employees being investigated for harassment or a leak of a customer’s account data in the messaging platform. Compliance and Data Access to Respond to Incidents
You have full control to determine what users and guests can do within channels whether they can post, react, or reply to posts. You can assign different permissions to members, channel admins, team admins and even assign specialty admins to help manage portions of your system or user management.
For example, you can delegate control of Channels to different end users so your IT team doesn’t get swamped with low-value requests, such as adding members to a channel or changing the channel name.Īs your organization grows, different levels of access can be customized as employees change roles in the organization. Mattermost can help teams evolve while maintaining the perfect level of controls needed to stay secure and compliant, without completely overhauling processes. Sometimes teams need to delegate specific permissions in order to scale operations. Multi-server support allows your organization to scale Mattermost and keep the user experience consistent as your employee base grows.
SAML or OpenID Connect integrations remove the inconvenience of having to remember another password to yet another system. Support for LDAP/AD ensures changes to your organization are synchronized and the right team members have access, ensuring a great first-day experience. Mattermost has multi-factor authentication capabilities with the ability to enforce usage for all users. Secure access to Mattermost is paramount being part of the right group on day one means that the newest member of your team has access to the right information to start being productive while giving your organization the peace of mind that security and compliance requirements are being met. When new employees onboard at a company, Mattermost is often one of the first tools they use. Features for Secure Onboarding and Scaling We also provide a Cloud deployment, providing all the advantages of a typical SaaS platform, with the unique capability of having the data in a private isolated environment, fully managed by us, removing the overhead of maintaining and updating self-hosted instances. This means your customers can choose to host data in their network behind their firewall or in their own private cloud. We provide Mattermost as a self-hosted deployment. Mattermost’s platform capabilities have evolved with that mindset and make it easy for your team to move quickly while meeting compliance obligations along the way. However, this collaborative space becomes a double-edged sword for the internal teams that manage their company’s most vital information and intellectual property- data must be easily accessible for employees but also secure. The DevOps movement recognizes the need for developers to collaborate across teams and functions to operate efficiently.
In recent years, software developers have seen their role evolve from purely development into operators of the infrastructure that their code runs on. Let’s dive into how teams use the Mattermost platform to deploy secure, compliant collaboration solutions to help teams like yours move faster, securely. We understand that there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution to the requirements of keeping data safe, so we’ve built multiple layers of security and compliance features to support an organization’s unique needs. But ownership of data also implies responsibility, and much of the burden of this responsibility is placed on IT to manually execute. The fine-grained control of Mattermost capabilities and the ownership of their critical data within Mattermost are the two most cited benefits. When we ask our customers what IT teams appreciate most about Mattermost, security is often at the top of the list.
