Solution	AMAG Pharmaceuticals implemented Cisco Cloudlock to manage access to Google Docs. With Cisco Cloudlock, the IT team at AMAG was able to gain visibility into all documents in the domain and see their sharing settings. They could fully control document permissions, monitor and receive exposure alerts, and review all changes for documents created or shared with their domain. Cisco Cloudlock also provided ongoing monitoring of the entire domain with email alerts on newly exposed documents and changes in permissions for existing documents. The same report was also available from within the application with the ability to view the specific documents. Users could select a time range and view at once all the changes that happened in their domain for a specified time. Cisco Cloudlock’s features for auditing all users and all documents in the domain (as well as tracking all changes) gave AMAG the tools they needed to generate audit reports to comply with regulations or internal governance policies.
