An educational checklist that helps financial teams evaluate secure document collection software for compliance-heavy client onboarding, with decision factors beyond generic file sharing.
Secure document collection software should structure requests, encrypt and screen uploads, control access, automate follow-up, and keep a trail, not just accept files. These are the factors to evaluate, with Alkmist as one EU-hosted option.
For compliance-heavy onboarding, generic file sharing is a liability: no structure, no follow-up, no trail. Purpose-built collection fixes that.
These factors separate secure document collection from a shared upload link.
Evaluate collection software against these.
Each document an item with an owner and due date.
In transit and at rest, with current standards.
Files checked on the way in, not just stored.
Least-privilege roles, expiring and revocable access.
Reminders that chase missing documents on status.
An immutable record of what was requested and received.
ISO 27001 certification and a DPA, evidenced.
Data kept in the EU under EU control.
