Frequently asked questions about insight
Who can access my documents?
Iron Mountain’s Implementation team meets with your organization to learn how your organization wishes to handle documents: by department, floor, individual, etc.
Iron Mountain then sets up your users, user groups and data security rules to ensure that the proper people have access to your information. Post implementation, your administrator users will be able to update your user groups and maintain users.
How does Iron Mountain ensure that only the right users access information?
Data security is paramount to any organization and Iron Mountain makes this easy with metadata based security capabilities. Metadata security rules can be set up by your administrator and assigned to users either at the individual or user group level. This ensures that users are only accessing information they should.
