WHAT WE OFFER

What is FileOpsaaS?

A fully hosted, fully managed operational service for your Secure Data Exchange environment — HANDD owns and runs both the infrastructure and the operations, so you don’t have to.

Hosted on HANDD Infrastructure

The Secure Data Exchange platform runs on HANDD’s managed cloud — no servers, networking, or capacity planning for you.

Operations Ownership

HANDD owns and executes all routine and complex file operation tasks — you never touch the day-to-day.

Security & Compliance

Continuous governance, audit trail management, and compliance checks embedded into every operation we run.

SLA-Backed Delivery

Defined response and resolution times for incidents, changes, and onboarding requests — all under a single service agreement.
