Diplomat Standard Edition offers sophisticated management of secure file transfers. Standard Edition targets sites that require rapid notification of file transfer problems and the ability to demonstrate regulatory compliance.

Diplomat Standard Edition incorporates all of the features from Diplomat Basic Edition and more...

Event Notifications

Event notifications can be sent if a file transfer fails or if it succeeds. You may need failure notifications for quick resolution of file transfer problems or or success notifications to let users know that new files are available for further processing.

• Email Notifications

Diplomat Standard Edition customizes email notifications to business users and IT support.  Email to business users summarizes what occurred during a file transfer job, such as the names, sizes, and locations of files that were successfully transferred.  IT support users typically need email notifications only when a file transfer fails. IT support emails also include a copy of the detailed log entries for the file transfer job to assist in immediate diagnosis and resolution of file transfer problems.

• Pager Notifications

For more urgent situations, you can send pager notifications for critical errors or for warning level errors, as well.  Errors that affect all file transfers are considered critical.  Errors that affect an individual file transfer job are considered 'warnings'.

Built-in Audit Database and Reporting

The built-in audit database in Standard Edition can demonstrate mandated regulatory compliance, such as HIPAA or Sarbanes-Oxley. 

Standard Edition captures detailed information on every step in a file transfer job, such as whether files are to be encrypted and which key to use. It also captures data on each file it attempts to transfer, such as the name of the source file, whether the file was successfully encrypted, the name and location of the destination file, and whether it was written successfully.  Audit reports provide a quick snapshot of individual file transfer jobs and overall file transfer problems. 

Built-in Scheduling

You can set up file transfers to run by minutes or hours, daily, or monthly. In addition to scheduled file transfers, you can execute a file transfer manually at any time using the 'Run Now' feature. 

3rd Party Scheduling with Auto-Rollover Capability

In addition to the built-in scheduling capabilities, with Diplomat Standard Edition you can choose to initiate file transfer jobs using a 3rd party scheduler or other application.  Each 3rd party request can specify up to 10 installations of Diplomat Standard Edition. The file transfer job will automatically "roll over" to the first available installation.

File Transfer Set-up

With Diplomat Standard Edition's intuitive user interface, you can customize file transfer parameters, such as whether to delete source files after the transfer, whether to overwrite existing files, or the name or location of the destination file.

Secure File Transfer

Standard Edition manages file transfers between any combination of local network, FTP, FTPS(SSH), and SFTP(SSL) servers. Secure FTP ensures your login data is protected in transit.  And, you can pre-test secure FTP connections and account information – without executing an actual file transfer.

OpenPGP Data Encryption

Fully-integrated OpenPGP capabilities ensure end-to-end data security. Encrypting and signing files before they leave the protection of your firewall assures your trading partners that files they receive were sent by you and have not been tampered with in transit. Files from trading partners that you must decrypt and verify on receipt provides you the same protection. 

In addition, you can encrypt files to be archived with your own alternate encryption key to ensure the data is safely stored, but can be decrypted when needed.

Optional Encryption using OpenPGP Command Line Console

Diplomat offers a richly-featured management console for the leading OpenPGP command line products: Authora EDGE, McAfee E-Business Server, PGP Command Line Server, and Veridis FileCrypt.  OpenPGP command line users can continue to use their command line tool for file encryption, while taking advantage of Diplomat’s extensive job scheduling and automation, secure file transfer, workflow management, job monitoring, and other business-critical features. 

Security

Diplomat requires a login to access file transfer set-up data.  And, all pass-phrases, passwords, and other sensitive data that you enter during file transfer set-up are encrypted by Diplomat before being stored in a central transaction database. Diplomat only decrypts this data at run-time, so no sensitive data is ever written to disk in plaintext.

Diplomat makes it easy to know when file transfer set-up data has been changed. Each screen in Diplomat displays a timestamp, user ID, and user IP address that reflects the last time any data on the screen was modified.

In-process Error Correction

When a transient file transfer error occurs, Diplomat Standard Edition attempts to recover and complete the transfer without restarting the file transfer job. If a network glitch causes your FTP server to be momentarily unavailable, Diplomat automatically reattempts a connection after a few seconds.

Recovery

After set up your file transfers, you can create a backup copy of Diplomat's central transaction database. If your Diplomat database is every lost or corrupted, you can quickly restore it from the backup copy in one simple step.

Troubleshooting/Advanced Troubleshooting

Diplomat Standard Edition logs all file transfer set-up and run-time events to a log file.  When an error occurs during a file transfer, the built-in log file viewer makes it easy to locate and diagnose the problem. Standard Edition can also keep archive copies of files, in case a file needs to be resent.  You can set when to create new log files, delete old log files, whether to keep archive copies of files, and deletes archived copies.  With advanced troubleshooting, you can capture additional debug data and retain temporary files created during the job to assist in problem diagnosis.
