Ideal Customer
- Coviant positions Diplomat MFT for organizations of all sizes, from small businesses with a single administrator up to large enterprises, with tiered editions (Standard, Professional, Enterprise) intended to match different scales of need.
- The product appears most commonly adopted by mid-market IT teams in regulated industries — particularly healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and government — that have outgrown manual scripts or basic FTP tools but want a no-code, self-hosted solution without the complexity or cost of large-platform competitors.
Key Differentiators
- Coviant's primary differentiators are transparent, all-inclusive pricing with no per-user or per-connector fees; a self-reported 20-year production record with zero CVEs in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog; and the inclusion of the Edge Gateway in the Enterprise tier at no additional charge, whereas competitors such as GoAnywhere and Globalscape EFT charge separately for equivalent DMZ proxy functionality.
- The company competes directly against MOVEit, GoAnywhere, Axway, JSCAPE, and Globalscape EFT, positioning itself as delivering comparable or superior functionality at significantly lower cost with faster implementation.
Industries Served
- Coviant Software serves organizations in healthcare, financial services, banking, manufacturing, retail, government and public sector, HR and payroll processing, and supply chain.
- Notable named customers include Mass General Brigham, Molina Healthcare, CHRISTUS Health, Bank of America, Bain & Company, FirstEnergy, the London Stock Exchange Group, NIST, and Tiffany & Co. The company has a particularly strong footprint in healthcare, where Diplomat MFT is used to automate HIPAA-compliant transfer of protected health information (PHI) and personally identifiable information (PII).
Service Coverage
- Coviant Software is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, and operates as a virtual company, selling and supporting its products globally.
- The company was formerly based in Waltham, Massachusetts, before relocating its headquarters to Texas.
Partnerships
- Coviant operates a reseller partner program offering margins on new sales and renewals, with a stated channel head of strategic partnerships on staff.
- The most notable formal reseller partnership is with Pro2col, described as Europe's premier automation and file transfer experts, which covers the UK and European markets.
Company Size
- Coviant Software was founded in 2004 and is a small company.
- Employee count estimates across data aggregators range from roughly 9 to 13 people, with LinkedIn listing 2–10 employees and LeadIQ noting approximately 13 employees as of early 2026.
Ownership
- Coviant Software is privately held and independently owned, organized as a C-corporation.
- The company explicitly states it has no private equity investors and is not beholden to outside ownership.
Compliance & Certifications
- Diplomat MFT is designed to support customer compliance with HIPAA/HITECH, PCI DSS, GDPR, GLBA, SOX, DORA, and SOC 2 frameworks, and references FIPS and NIST standards for government deployments.
- Coviant does not appear to hold its own SOC 2 attestation or ISO 27001 certification as a vendor, as Diplomat MFT is a self-hosted, on-premises product and the compliance obligations fall primarily on the customer's environment.

Diplomat MFT is a self-hosted managed file transfer software platform available in Standard, Professional, and Enterprise editions. It automates secure file transfers using protocols including SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, AS2, and OpenPGP encryption, and connects to cloud storage providers such as Amazon S3, Azure Files, and Google Cloud Storage. The platform includes no-code workflow automation, audit logging, and compliance reporting for regulations such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR.
Diplomat MFT Edge Gateway
Edge Gateway is a network-edge component included with Diplomat MFT that acts as a secure proxy deployed in the DMZ, accepting inbound SFTP connections from external clients without exposing internal systems or creating inbound firewall holes. No user data, credentials, or encryption keys are stored in the DMZ, keeping sensitive information behind the firewall. It coordinates with the core Diplomat MFT server to handle all external file transfer traffic securely.
Diplomat MFT SFTP Server
Diplomat MFT includes a built-in enterprise SFTP server that gives trading partners a single, secure connection point for inbound and outbound file transfers without requiring a separate third-party SFTP product. The SFTP Server integrates with the Edge Gateway to accept external connections through the DMZ. Configuration options include cipher selection, hash algorithms, key exchange settings, and automated file retention management.
Professional Services for Diplomat MFT
Coviant Software offers a range of paid professional services to help customers implement, upgrade, migrate, and optimize Diplomat MFT deployments. Services include Implementation Assistance, Upgrade Guidance, Migration Assistance, Health Checks, and Custom Consulting and Development. Engagements are scoped and priced individually, with options for hourly consulting or fixed-fee service packages.
