Frequently asked questions
Browse these frequently asked questions and contact us if you’d like to ask your own.
Who can access my documents?
Iron Mountain’s Implementation team meets with your organisation to learn how your organisation wishes to handle documents: by department, floor, individual, etc.
Iron Mountain then sets up your users, user groups and data security rules to ensure that the proper people have access to your information. Post implementation, your administrator users will be able to update your user groups and maintain users.
How does Iron Mountain ensure that only the right users access information?
Data security is paramount to any organisation, and Iron Mountain makes this easy with metadata-based security capabilities. Metadata security rules can be set up by your administrator and assigned to users either at the individual or user group level. This ensures that users are only accessing the information that they should.
Can I use InSight for my documents that have been previously digitised?
Yes, you can easily ingest your digital documents and add index data to help centralise your information.
Ingestion from the following repositories is also supported:
- Iron Mountain Connect via Image on Demand (IOD)
- Amazon® Web Services (AWS)
- Google Cloud
- Enterprise Content Management (ECM, including but not limited to SharePoint, Alfresco, and OpenText)
- Google Drive
