With a Dedication to Data Security and Support for Compliance Programs, Coviant Software Releases Diplomat MFT 9.4
Improvements Reflect Responsiveness to Customer Needs, Expected HIPAA Changes
SAN ANTONIO, TX, May 28, 2025 – In anticipation of more stringent updates to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), continued attacks against other file transfer tools, and in response to customer feedback, Coviant Software announces the immediate availability of Diplomat MFT 9.4. The award-winning managed file transfer (MFT) automation solution makes regulatory compliance, security controls, and file transfer automation simpler and more secure than ever.
Diplomat MFT 9.4 adds new reporting and testing features that address expected changes to data security regulations, improves internal permissions and controls through enhanced role-based access, and makes it easier to create workflows to popular cloud storage services. Existing customers are encouraged to upgrade immediately using Coviant Software’s self-service portal, while organizations looking to add new or replace their existing MFT software can download a free trial and check out Diplomat MFT’s extensive functionality. Diplomat MFT 9.4’s new features and improvements include:
- Built-In Compliance Tools: Simplified documentation for HIPAA updates and other regulations with SFTP Audit Report and digital supply chain Connection Map.
- Workflow Testing: Validate workflow function and security using Dry Run mode before launch to avoid errors.

These upgrades offer IT and security administrators more flexibility when implementing and maintaining access to Diplomat MFT consistent with an organization’s own directory server. Diplomat MFT 9.4 also adds support for SAML based single sign-on for admin users, integrating with existing controls rather than maintaining controls separately within the platform.
“File transfers are an essential function in every organization, and one that has been targeted by threat actors with increasing frequency and ferocity. That is why we take seriously our responsibility to provide the most secure, easiest to use, and most ethically priced MFT solution on the market. We listen to our customers, and we track the challenges they face as the regulatory environment changes, and the improvements embodied in Diplomat MFT 9.4 reflect that feedback.” – Coviant Software CEO Gregory Hoffer.
Coviant Software’s Diplomat MFT secure managed file transfer solution meets customer expectations for functionality, ease of use, and enterprise-grade scalability without sacrificing security for convenience. Among Diplomat MFT’s automated features are:
- PGP encryption management;
- Authorized recipient/destination confirmation;
- Scheduler with virtually unlimited concurrent job capacity;
- MFT process data capture for compliance audit reporting and troubleshooting; and,
- Notifications to communication channels of choice (email, text, Slack, Teams, etc.).
Diplomat MFT’s secure architecture and deployment in conjunction with the Diplomat MFT SFTP Server and Edge Gateway keeps files and connections secure before, during, and after transfer, allowing users to securely exchange files with unlimited B2B partners across a wide variety of endpoints, including cloud storage providers, traditional FTP servers, remote agents, even email. And the solution works seamlessly with business applications like ERP and CRM platforms, and cloud storage services like S3, Azure, SharePoint, Box, Dropbox, and more.
Furthermore, Diplomat MFT’s reliability means users can process heavy job loads with multiple trading partners consistently, helping organizations in highly regulated industries—in particular healthcare, financial services, government, and biopharma manufacturing—to maintain compliance with industry standards and security and privacy like HIPAA/HITECH, PCI-DSS, and GDPR.
