SECURITY & GOVERNANCE

Your information.
Clear boundaries.

Product evidence deserves deliberate access, handling and review. Understand the implemented workspace controls and the operational arrangements your deployment still needs.

KNOW WHERE THE BOUNDARIES ARE

Implemented controls.
Explicit deployment decisions.

The application enforces access and evidence workflows. Hosting, provider configuration, security assurance and contractual responsibilities require deployment-specific review.

Scoped workspace access.

Accounts use server sessions and verified email. Organisation roles control changes, review, exports and administration. Customer access and platform operations use separate sessions.

Supplier response links give access to a single request without a customer account.

Evidence with a history.

Uploaded sources enter quarantine before processing. Document versions retain their integrity reference, screening state and review decision. Private downloads require authorised workspace access.

Screening and storage availability depend on deployment configuration.

Operational responsibilities.

Agree on hosting, data location, incident handling, retention and service responsibilities before introducing sensitive evidence into a deployment.

No security certification, independent audit or service-level guarantee is claimed.
A PRACTICAL SCOPE MATRIX

Make the requirements visible.

A starting point for technical discovery and procurement review.

AreaWorkspace behaviourDeployment review
Identity & accessVerified accounts, organisation roles and scoped supplier capabilities. Platform administrators use a separate MFA session.Account lifecycle, role assignment, operator provisioning and any additional identity-provider requirements.
Hosting & data locationWorkspace records are server-side. Private source storage and provider operations use the configured deployment services.Hosting provider, geographic location, data flows, subprocessors and contractual responsibilities.
Retention & deletionAccount and organisation deletion requests require password confirmation and offer a 30-day cancellation period.Retention policy, deletion process, backup handling, recovery requirements and export arrangements.
Document provenanceVersioned source records retain integrity references, screening state and review provenance. Authenticity still requires reviewer judgement.Source acceptance criteria, storage policy, malware scanner configuration and reviewer responsibilities.
Review & activityReviews refer to a specific source version. Server-recorded activity identifies workspace actions and administrative reasons.Authorisation, review responsibilities, audit retention and any required protection against alteration.
Operational assuranceProvider failures and blocked configuration are reported explicitly. No availability commitment or independent security assessment is claimed.Incident process, support responsibilities, availability objectives, testing and review of security evidence.
Application controls and deployment assurance are different responsibilities. No certification or independent audit is implied.
GOVERNANCE BEFORE GO-LIVE

A good pilot starts
with the right questions.

Define the people, information and decisions involved before enabling a shared production deployment.

Prepare a pilot scope

Who needs access?

Map internal teams, external suppliers and reviewers to the information each should be able to see or change.

What information is involved?

Identify the document types, product data and commercially sensitive information within the proposed collection.

Who makes the decision?

Assign the review owner and define how exceptions, approvals and changes will be documented.

What happens at the end?

Agree on the evaluation, export, retention and deletion process before the pilot starts.

Bring your requirements to the table.

Capture the governance, technical and support questions that matter to your team in a pilot enquiry.
