Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Computer Security

Abstract

In today?s digital and data-driven world, ensuring robust information security is crucial for all organizations irrespective of their sizes, location, and use. With an emphasis on Information Security, this paper presents a comparative review of five leading document management systems (DMS) ? DocuWare, M-Files, ZohoDoc, PandaDoc, and eFileCabinet thereby reviewing their various methods of ensuring information security and using a qualitative review method based on confidentiality, integrity, availability, and compliance (CIA-C). It examines popular features that make up CIA-C and finds that PandaDoc is the most secure. Through this comparative analysis, individuals and organizations will gain a deeper understanding of the security features of these Document Management Systems (DMS) solutions which will help them make informed decisions based on their needs, making sure their choice aligns with their security requirements, with organizations having a firm foundation of trust to mitigate potential risks thereby contributing to a more secure digital environment.
