Secure document management

Nextcloud for law firms, notaries and tax advisers

Nextcloud enables secure file exchange between employees, clients and partners and makes your data available on all devices.

Modern Communication

Communication via paper only is out of date. Clients expect from their law firm, notary or tax adviser a modern, digital communication exchange, secure and discreet. In the office, at home and on the road.

Seguridad definitiva

Choosing an on-premises product means you can guarantee your clients that data never leaves your company and remains 100% confidential.

Powerful server and client side encryption options provide ultimate protection for sensitive documents.

Independence

Open Source means full control over your infrastructure. One of worlds most used and best understood software licenses protects your investment, guaranteeing complete vendor independence and zero risk of compliance issues.

¿Por qué autoalojado?

You need 100% certainty
Sending around data by email or using public SaaS file sharing solutions does not provide much security for sensitive data. Encryption is complicated and cumbersome to use, reducing the real benefits due to employees working around them or making mistakes.

Keeping data on your own infrastructure or at a trusted local private or public cloud provider means you stay in control. Only then can you show your customers exactly where their sensitive documents are. Regulators can be certain that non-compliance with proper process is minimized.

SaaS is a risky solution
Most consumer-grade solutions like Dropbox or Office 365 were not designed with privacy regulations and security concerns in mind, mixing data from consumers and businesses, spread out in data centers across the globe. Enterprise IT workloads may be processed by Cloud Providers liable to the US CLOUD Act, meaning your business data can be leaked on orders of the US judicial system, often without disclosure to you.

Rather than trying to work around their limitations, Nextcloud provides a security-first solution which puts you in complete control over the location and access policies of data with a private cloud solution as well as a managed public cloud solution offered by local and trusted providers.
