Enterprise-Grade MFT Software with our Standard Edition of Diplomat MFT

Advanced Automation & Workflows

This is the biggest pain point for growing SMEs. They’ve outgrown manual processes and simple automation, but need sophisticated workflows to handle complex business logic without hiring expensive developers.

Enhanced Security & Compliance

As SMEs grow, they face increasing regulatory scrutiny and higher-value transactions. Advanced security becomes a business enabler, not just protection – it unlocks bigger clients and partnerships who demand robust audit trails and access controls.

High-Performance & Scalability

While important, this is more of a “nice to have” until you actually hit performance walls. SMEs typically prioritize solving process problems and compliance requirements before optimizing for pure speed/volume.

Cost-Effective Enterprise Foundation

Get the same core platform as Fortune 500 companies without enterprise pricing or complexity. Scale up seamlessly when ready without vendor lock-in or migration headaches.

What’s included in Diplomat MFT Basic Edition?

Diplomat MFT’s flexible architecture allows you to select the modules and functionality you need, to meet your organization’s secure file transfer requirements, now and as they grow.

Manage Complex File Transfer Environments

Set up and manage transfer jobs from one central application. Whether you are transferring files to or from traditional secure FTP or web servers or using cloud storage sites (like Amazon, Dropbox or ShareFile), Diplomat’s intuitive point-and-click interface makes it easy to schedule file transfer jobs.

Select source files by date, sequence number, and other wildcards. Then, process when all required source files are available. Diplomat MFT Enterprise Edition lets you choose multiple distinct source file sets per transaction, including “trigger files” that control when the entire set of files is ready for transfer as a batch process.

Reduce time deploying new file transfer jobs. Save source, destination, and PGP key settings for use in multiple file transfer jobs. Create and validate new file transfer jobs, then merge only the new jobs onto your production system.

Create Business Workflows

Build and test file transfer jobs that meet your organization’s needs using our Dry Run feature. Then, automatically execute external processes before a file transfer job starts or after it finishes. Using pre- and post-commands lets you create an automated workflow without using a separate scheduler.

Insert a single command using Diplomat MFT Scripting Agent into an existing workflow to execute a pre-configured Diplomat transaction. Set up a Diplomat transaction with the source files to pick up, PGP keys to use and where to email addresses for job status messages.

Or, use the Diplomat MFT REST API to initiate and monitor file transfer jobs as part of any workflow. Or, use the Diplomat MFT REST API to initiate and monitor file transfer jobs as part of any workflow. No unencrypted passwords or passphrases are stored on disk in your scripts or the Diplomat database. Sensitive data, such as passwords or passphrases, is only decrypted at run-time.

Meet Security Mandates

Demonstrate compliance with PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOX, GDPR and other security mandates. Diplomat MFT Enterprise Edition captures detailed audit trail data in a SQL database with one-click reporting to confirm you have met encryption, access control, authentication, monitoring and other security requirements.

Try Diplomat Remote Agent, a highly secure transport method based on PGP encryption which enables one-step data transfers between secure locations. Data no longer needs to reside outside the firewall on transport servers, such as FTP, web or email servers.

Use two-factor authentication to protect Diplomat Managed File Transfer from unauthorized use. Users can be authenticated automatically using their network identity or by entering a Diplomat username and password – or both.

Set user privileges, password policies and session expiration limits. Then, manage user connections through an administrative dashboard. And with LDAP integration you can synch Diplomat MFT Enterprise Edition with your organization’s specific permissions to ensure administrative access on a need-to-know basis.

Monitor Secure File Transfer

Affirm authorized recipients during setup, then monitor your file transfer environment with real-time visibility of all secure file transfer jobs. See when a job is scheduled, the last time it ran and whether it was successful. Drill down into job history, file history and log files. Plus, rerun failed jobs when needed. All from the same Diplomat MFT Job Monitor console.

Temporarily suspend scheduling of a file transfer job or group of jobs when problems arise. When a server is down or other technical problems occur, you can suspend the affected file transfer jobs. When the problem is resolved, jobs can be restarted with a single click. And get notifications to your preferred communications channel if there’s failure so that you can diagnose and fix a transfer workflow quickly.

Reduced Errors

Many data breaches are a result of user error when sending files. People forget to encrypt files, use unsecure methods, or send data to the wrong destination. Sometimes a trading partner will make changes that disrupt existing workflows, or a network outage occurs somewhere between sender and recipient. Diplomat MFT Enterprise Edition reduces file transfer errors and failures by:

∙ Affirming recipient authorization details before launching new workflows

∙ Reattempting when a transient problem occurs (FTP server login fails)

∙ Automating formerly manual file transfer processes

∙ Testing new workflows using our Dry Run feature

∙ Checkpoint restarting for transmission errors

∙ File integrity checking of destination files

Suspend file transfers if an FTP account or other network component is not working. One click suspends transfers until the issue is resolved. Identify unused OpenPGP keys, partner profiles, and transactions for faster system clean-up.

Receive email or paging messages with diagnostic data to quickly identify and resolve file transfer problems. Diplomat MFT Enterprise Edition’s email notifications provide information on every step of a file transfer job.

Diplomat MFT has been a powerful workhorse for all of our enterprise file exchange for many years. No other enterprise application we use comes with the same level of support we receive from Coviant.

Eric D.

Director of Information Technology

The support is fantastic. I had to contact them on a few occasions – as it turns out, not for issues with Diplomat MFT but issues with one of the FTP partners. Coviant support stuck with me and went above and beyond to troubleshoot and figure out the issue.

Dave L.

Manager of Information & Technology

Diplomat MFT is a solid data transfer product, its easy to set up, and easy to use. I like the way the transaction builder is laid out. It’s so easy to understand what values it wants.

Adah B.

Senior Programmer Analyst

Extremely robust platform for managing our enterprise file transactions. Every upgrade provides us with additional useful tools to streamline our business processes.

Stephen H.

IT BI Analyst SE

I find the sftp file transfers to be the most helpful tool of Diplomat MFT. No need for programming, the interface is customized already and users only need to fill in the boxes.

Jeff M.

IT Software Application Director

The interface and GUI are very straightforward. The options are simple and labeled so anyone can understand how to set up and configure. The ability to test something without actually sending something is also beneficial.
