Scan Every Upload for Malware Before It Reaches Your Compliance Platform
Every upload is an ingress point you don't control
A compliance platform is a magnet for files. DPIAs, vendor questionnaires, signed DPAs, policy PDFs — every one arrives as an upload from staff, vendors, and external reviewers you don't control.
Each upload is an ingress point. An infected document or a disguised executable can land inside the system that holds your most sensitive records, and your protection-against-malware control has a gap exactly where evidence flows in.
Many tools accept whatever you give them — checking nothing, restricting nothing, leaving you unable to show an auditor how uploads are governed until an incident makes the gap obvious.
What you can do with anti-malware file scanning
- Scan every document and policy upload for malware before it is accepted.
- Allow-list permitted file extensions so disallowed types are rejected at upload.
- Quarantine detected-malware files instead of letting them into the platform.
- Auto-delete infected files when your policy is to remove rather than hold them.
- Show a scan-status icon to users so file safety is visible, not silent.
- Apply one validated configuration organization-wide across all uploads.
What it delivers to your program
- Close an ingress point — files are screened at the door, not after they're stored, so the platform stops being an attack surface.
- Evidence your malware control for ISO 27001 audits with a defined, configurable, organization-wide upload policy you can show.
- Standardize file handling from a single validated setting — no per-team configuration drift to defend.
- Decide the response in advance — quarantine or delete is a policy you set, not an incident-time scramble.
Built for compliance
DPMS helps you evidence the control that governs files entering your environment.
| What DPMS does | Maps to | How |
|---|---|---|
| Scans uploaded files for malware | ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 8.7 | Anti-malware scanning applied to document and policy uploads |
| Restricts permitted file types | ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 8.7 | Allow-list of approved file extensions enforced at upload |
| Defines infected-file handling | ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 8.7 | Configurable quarantine-or-delete policy on detection |
| Surfaces scan status to users | ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 8.7 | Scan-status indicator shown on uploads |
Why Priverion
Unlike general-purpose GRC tools that treat file upload as an afterthought, the anti-malware control is built into Priverion's upload handling and applies platform-wide. The same place your team manages DPIAs, vendor records, and policies enforces a single validated scanning policy — so the documents feeding your compliance evidence are governed by the same standard as the evidence itself, with no separate scanner to bolt on.
