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 and restricting nothing, which leaves 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, with 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.
