Encrypted by design
AES-256 and ASR protect files through the exchange. The technology works in the background, so stronger handling does not depend on users becoming security specialists.
My MX Data gives enterprises one controlled way to move sensitive files between teams, clients, suppliers and partners. MX combines encrypted transfer, named-recipient access and activity evidence, helping file exchange become a dependable part of your information-governance approach.
Access stays linked to authenticated people, not broadly shareable URLs.
Move demanding datasets without splitting them across tools or messages.
Review activity without rebuilding a trail from inboxes and screenshots.
When each department chooses its own workaround, the organisation inherits overlapping licences, inconsistent controls and incomplete visibility. Standardising the sensitive handoff creates a clearer operating model without forcing teams to replace every system they already use.
MX is designed around the complete exchange, not simply the upload. Explore the three layers that help enterprises turn an everyday action into a repeatable and reviewable process.
Restrict each exchange to named, authenticated recipients. Multi-factor authentication and role-based settings help ensure that access follows the person and the purpose, including across suppliers, clients and regional teams.
MX combines AES-256 protection with patented Anonymised Shard Restoration. File data is anonymised and divided before it is restored for an authorised recipient, adding a distinct layer to conventional encrypted transfer.
Time-stamped activity helps authorised teams review opens, downloads and handoffs. Evidence is created through normal use, reducing the scramble to reconstruct events when governance, a client or an internal review asks.
Good governance weakens when important controls are optional, difficult to find or configured differently by every team. MX brings the essentials into the same straightforward workflow.
AES-256 and ASR protect files through the exchange. The technology works in the background, so stronger handling does not depend on users becoming security specialists.
Replace public links with access tied to approved accounts. Permissions, expiry and download settings make the intended boundary clearer.
Capture relevant transfer events as work happens, supporting project assurance, supplier accountability and audit preparation.
Give clients and suppliers a branded, controlled route for submitting sensitive information without relying on email attachments.
Move design archives, high-resolution media and substantial datasets as one governed exchange, without splitting the work into fragments.
Select suitable storage-region options to support operational, contractual and jurisdictional requirements across multi-region organisations.
The value is wider than licence price. It includes the time spent switching tools, chasing delivery, managing exceptions and piecing together evidence. A common exchange layer gives IT, finance and governance a more useful view of both control and cost.
Bring sensitive transfers into one approved route and identify subscriptions, maintenance and workarounds that no longer add value.
Reduce file splitting, repeated sending, version chasing and manual evidence gathering around routine exchanges.
Give accountable teams a consistent record of exchange activity, making policy gaps and remaining workarounds easier to identify.
Enterprise file sharing should help teams apply policy during the exchange, not leave governance to reconstruct the story afterwards. MX supports that approach through identity, encryption, activity records, expiry and data-location options.
Select suitable data-location options to support jurisdictional and customer requirements.
Apply recipient, expiry and download settings according to the purpose of the exchange.
Create activity records through normal use and make them available for authorised review.
Use MX for controlled delivery alongside the systems responsible for long-term records.
Practical guidance for technology and governance leaders reviewing how information leaves the network, how transfer evidence is created and where legacy habits create unnecessary exposure.
File exchange often grows through exceptions, workarounds and whichever tool was quickest at the time. CTOs need to know where control ends once information leaves the network.

MX is designed for controlled exchanges between departments, clients, suppliers and partners. Named-user access, encryption, expiry settings and activity records create a more accountable handoff than public links or email attachments. There is no file-size limit, and branded portals can provide a consistent external experience. MX is best understood as a secure transfer layer alongside your established storage and collaboration systems.
MX helps organisations apply consistent controls to sensitive file exchanges and retain useful evidence of activity. This can support GDPR, UK Data Protection Act and ISO 27001-aligned processes, but it does not guarantee compliance. Your organisation remains responsible for its lawful basis, policies, retention decisions, training and wider technical measures.
No. MX focuses on secure delivery rather than continuous synchronisation, co-authoring or permanent document retention. Teams can continue using their DMS and shared drives for working files and records, then use MX when information needs to cross a departmental or organisational boundary with stronger control and traceability.
A phased rollout is usually the most practical route. Start with exchanges carrying the greatest sensitivity or weakest current controls, agree ownership and access rules, then provide short role-specific onboarding. Adoption and remaining workarounds can be reviewed before expanding to further departments. The cloud-based service can sit alongside existing tools rather than requiring immediate replacement.
Compare total process cost, not only software price. Look at overlapping transfer subscriptions, legacy maintenance, time spent splitting files or chasing delivery, effort needed to gather audit evidence and the operational impact of inconsistent handling. The precise return depends on user numbers, volume, governance needs and the cost of your existing workarounds.
MX can complement operational workflows by providing a controlled handoff point for sensitive files. Metadata and API capabilities can associate exchanges with projects, cases or transactions, while branded portals support structured external submissions. The right pattern should be agreed around authentication, classification, retention and ownership requirements.
