My MX Data protects files with AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest, then adds its quantum secure patented methodology: Anonymise, Shard, Restore. Named-user access, detailed audit trails and configurable controls give your organisation a more accountable way to exchange confidential information.

AUDIT EVENT RECORDED
For organisations comparing end-to-end encrypted file sharing services, the practical question is not only whether a file is encrypted. It is whether the complete exchange is controlled, traceable and explainable afterwards.
Security controls applied to the complete handoff.
MX combines established AES-256 protection with a patented quantum secure methodology designed to reduce the exposure created when a complete, identifiable file is held or moved as one object.
Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, helping protect sensitive information while it moves through the exchange and while it is held for delivery.
ASR anonymises the data, divides it into shards and restores it only within the authorised exchange process. A shard is not a complete usable file in isolation.
Careful terminology matters: MX does not claim that technology can eliminate security risk. Its layered approach is designed to give organisations stronger control, resilience and evidence around sensitive file exchanges.
ASR adds a further layer to secure encrypted file sharing by changing how protected data is identified, separated and restored within the exchange process.
Identifying context is separated from the protected data. This reduces the usefulness of the data if viewed outside the authorised process.
The anonymised data is divided into multiple shards. No single shard represents the complete file, supporting a more distributed security model.
The protected data is restored through the authorised exchange process so the named recipient can access the file in its usable form.
What ASR is designed to achieve: an additional layer of protection beyond conventional file sharing, helping organisations prepare for evolving security threats without adding manual steps for everyday users.
Encryption protects the file. Governance controls help your organisation explain who received it, what they could do with it and what happened next.
Share files with identified users rather than relying on public or anonymously forwarded links.
Maintain a record of file activity that can support internal reviews, client questions and audit evidence.
Limit how long a file remains available and apply controls appropriate to the sensitivity of the exchange.
Enterprise configurations can support requirements around where protected data shards are held.
Move large engineering, media and project files without falling back to fragmented consumer tools or email attachments.
Explore large file sharingKeep secure discussion connected to the file activity, reducing the need to separate evidence across email chains.
The security process runs around a familiar user journey, helping people share sensitive files without having to become encryption specialists.
Select a named user, rather than generating an open link that can be passed on.
Set expiry, permissions and any exchange requirements appropriate to the file.
AES-256 and ASR are applied within the platform as the file is prepared for delivery.
Review the audit trail and retain evidence of the exchange if questions arise later.
Email, cloud drives and general transfer services remain useful. MX is for the exchanges where stronger identity, traceability and governance are required.
Email works well for routine communication. Sensitive attachments can become harder to recall, expire or evidence once sent.
Cloud drives are designed to help teams store and collaborate on documents. Sensitive external handoffs may require careful configuration and ongoing permission management.
Link-based transfer services are useful for quick sends. Where a link can be forwarded, the organisation may have less confidence that only the intended person accessed the file.
MX focuses on secure handoffs between named users. It is not intended to replace every storage or collaboration platform in your organisation.
The right platform depends on the use case. MX is most valuable where the sensitivity of the file makes a controlled, evidence-led exchange process important.
MX supports organisations that need to protect confidential client, supplier, operational or intellectual-property data as it moves beyond the immediate team.
Exchange case files, contracts and client records through a controlled process with named access and traceable activity.

Explore public-sector sharingMX is not a full document management system and it is not a real-time co-authoring platform. It provides a more controlled route for the file exchanges that ordinary collaboration tools were not designed to govern on their own.

Browse all FAQsFiles are protected with AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest. MX then adds its quantum secure patented methodology, ASR, which anonymises, shards and restores the protected data within the authorised exchange process.
This layered model is intended to strengthen protection without asking employees or external partners to manage encryption keys manually.
“End-to-end encrypted file sharing” is used broadly across the market, so buyers should look beyond the label and examine the complete security model. MX protects files with AES-256 in transit and at rest, adds ASR, restricts access to named users and records file activity.
The result is a controlled encrypted file transfer process focused on confidentiality, identity, traceability and evidence.
Encryption is only one part of the MX model. Files are exchanged between named users rather than through public links, and organisations can apply expiry settings, permissions and other controls. Detailed audit trails help show who interacted with a file and when.
ASR adds a further layer by anonymising and dividing protected data before it is restored through the authorised process.
No technology platform can make an organisation compliant by itself. MX helps facilitate compliance efforts by providing controls and evidence around sensitive file exchanges, including encryption, named access, audit trails, expiry settings and data sovereignty options.
These capabilities can support GDPR, UK Data Protection Act and ISO 27001-aligned processes, but each organisation remains responsible for its own policies, lawful basis, configuration and wider compliance obligations. Read more about how MX can support GDPR-focused file sharing.
Yes. MX is designed for business files that are impractical to send as email attachments, including CAD data, project archives, high-resolution media and other large datasets. The platform does not impose a file-size limit.
The same named-recipient controls, encryption and audit trail apply whether you are sharing a small document or a large technical package.
The security is applied within the platform, so users do not need to create passwords for every file or manage encryption keys. They select a recipient, apply the required controls and send.
That usability matters because an approved secure process only reduces risk when employees, clients and suppliers can use it without creating workarounds.
Not necessarily. Those platforms are useful for storage, synchronisation and collaborative editing. MX is designed for a different job: secure, traceable handoffs of sensitive files between known users.
Many organisations use their existing productivity tools for everyday work and introduce MX where an external or high-risk exchange needs stronger access control and clearer evidence.
MX is focused on secure exchange rather than indefinite document storage. Availability can be controlled through expiry settings and permissions so files do not remain accessible longer than the workflow requires.
The appropriate retention approach depends on your plan, configuration and organisational policy, so discuss specific requirements with the MX team during onboarding.
