Secure External File Sharing

Ultimate protection over your information, when you share it with anyone outside your organisation.

The file sharing platform we all agree on and trust.

Designed specifically for government and regulated industries, Objective Connect is secure external file sharing application that gives complete control over the information you share outside your organisation.

Extend your internal information governance externally. Maintain control over shared documents. Collaborate across devices, across teams or across the world. Maintain one version of the truth. Record who did what and when. All from one solution.

Control

Lock down your content, from preview through to edit

You are in charge of who does what

Set the abilities of each user within every Workspace, to match the needs and legal requirements of individual projects. In one click you can grant new abilities to download, upload, edit, share, add comments and invite participants while existing permissions, classifications, shares and caveats are applied automatically.

For their eyes only

When your documents are extremely sensitive, set a Workspace to be preview-only. Documents can be shared, but never downloaded. Every page is watermarked with the participants’ email address and time stamped.

Instant updates keep you across everything

Email notifications update you as soon as a participant takes action - from accepting a Workspace invitation to uploading or downloading documents.

Prove

Protect your organisation by providing full disclosure on every interaction, on every document, every time

Know exactly what happened across the entire collaboration event

Whether it is an FOI request or resolving a dispute, Objective Connect captures every interaction. From when an invite was accepted - to a document downloaded - to comments made - you’re able to prove in seconds who did what and when.

Let your audit data tell the true story

Unique to Objective Connect is the Workspace Record. Produced in seconds, this easy-to-consume report gives you the full picture of who had access to your information and the actions they took, no matter how small.

Comply with your records management obligations

Transactional audit reports can be produced at any time, providing the granularity that is required by records and information managers. Seamless integration to the audit trail in Objective Nexus and Content Manager is always kept up to date.

Unlimited users

Unlimited users both internal and external to your organisation – only pay for how much content you share. It’s free for anyone you want to collaborate with.

Government grade security

Hosted locally on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to ensure the highest level of protection and data sovereignty.

It helped us within hours of going live… this saved me several hours of trawling the audit trail and explaining to the team.

Security isn’t something you claim. It’s something you prove

Objective Connect is independently certified for global ISO9001 and ISO27001 standards, and compliant with best-practice national cybersecurity assessments including IRAP; ISM (Australia), ISM; CGDO Tier 2 (New Zealand) and NCSC, DSM and G Cloud-12 (United Kingdom).

Secure-by-design

Objective Connect is purpose-built for government, critical infrastructure, regulated industries and teams collaborating with confidential information. From ISO, IRAP assessed, locally hosted with Amazon Web Services (AWS), to embedded Anti-Virus, 2-step verification, native encryption and protection across devices, we’ve done the hard work to make secure file sharing easy.

End-to end protection

Objective Connect integrates seamlessly with Objective Nexus or Content Manager, so your internal information governance framework is automatically applied to prevent unauthorised or uncontrolled sharing.

Because the security is there, we know we can safely transfer and receive data - and be confident the information is safe and secure the minute we get it.
