How MX Stacks Up Against the Competition

Government agencies handle data that can’t risk exposure. My MX Data keeps it safe with strict encryption, access restrictions, and audit logs designed for classified or sensitive transfers.

It performs best in Security & Compliance, File Control, Collaboration, and Large File Handling.

Quantum-Ready Government Security - MX uses its ASR methodology to protect sensitive and classified materials through every step. ℹ️ What does this mean?ASR (Anonymize, Shard, Restore) transforms files into anonymized shards, moves them via separate secure routes, and restores them only for authorized personnel, offering stronger safeguards than AES-256.

Traceable Access Trails - Records opens, downloads, and shares for reliable oversight and review.

Built for HIPAA, CCPA & ISO 27001 - Combines encryption and strict permissions to support public sector standards.

WeTransfer does not encrypt at rest, making it unsuitable for government data handling.

Google Drive and Dropbox typically require extra configuration to align with agency compliance.

Security & Compliance

Restricted to Named Accounts – Access is limited to specific, verified users, ensuring all file activity is traceable.

Custom Data Location Choice – Pick the storage region that satisfies statutory rules and operational policies.

🟡Essential File Handling Tools – Upload, download, and check activity records without adopting a full document management system.

No Continuous File Sync – Prioritizes deliberate, secure exchanges instead of background updates.

File Control

Government-Grade Transfers – Move classified or sensitive government documents with strong encryption and a verifiable chain of custody.

Policy-Linked Messaging – Keep conversations tied directly to each document for accountability and record-keeping.

Agency-Branded Portals – Maintain a secure, branded space that reflects your agency identity during every exchange.

🟡No Live Editing – Documents must be finalized before being transferred through MX.

Collaboration

Transfer Without Size Caps – Move classified or high-volume files without restrictions. Google Drive limits to 750GB/day, and WeTransfer free accounts can only send 2GB.

Secure Government Portals – Collect sensitive data through encrypted, branded interfaces that meet strict agency protocols. Most public sharing tools can’t match this.

No Archival Use – MX is built for secure transfers, not as a long-term cloud archive like Dropbox or OneDrive.

Large File Handling

How MX Helps Government Teams share Files Securely

Agencies exchange sensitive material all day. MX encrypts every transfer end to end, ties access to named users and preserves a clean audit trail. FOIA responses, case files, procurement packs, it all moves with control and proof.

HIPAA
Public health departments regularly exchange medical files. MX encrypts them and captures every access event so HIPAA obligations are met even across complex agency networks.
CCPA
State agencies processing resident data face CCPA style requirements. MX lets them prove files were only accessed by the right users which reinforces trust in government processes.
SOX
Government auditors looking at SOX compliance demand reliable reporting. MX provides encrypted exchanges with logs detailed enough to satisfy oversight bodies.
GLBA
GLBA applies to government entities working with financial data. MX protects transfers with encryption and access control which ensures those agencies respect confidentiality rules.
FISMA
FISMA is a daily reality for federal and state agencies. MX supports compliance with secure workflows, permission structures and complete audit histories.
FERPA
FERPA affects government bodies tied to education. MX secures student data exchanges by encrypting each file and applying access restrictions down to the individual level.

👁️
Organization Wide Activity Ledger
Searchable history of views, downloads and forwards with identity, IP and timestamp. Fast answers during incidents and scheduled audits.
🔑
SSO & Multi Factor Access
Connect your identity provider then require a second factor for higher risk actions. That blend cuts account takeovers across large user bases.
No Public Sharing Links
Disable open URLs that drift beyond your perimeter. MX routes sharing through authenticated sessions and named recipients which reduces exposure risk.

FAQs

1
Technology, Functionality & Credibility
How does MX safeguard citizen data shared between government departments?

Identity-Based Transfers: MX restricts exchanges to named users only, eliminating the accidental oversharing often seen with open links.

Patented Security: Files are anonymized, fragmented into shards, and restored only at the intended destination. This quantum-secure patented methodology helps protect sensitive data such as tax filings, Social Security records, or healthcare files.

With government agencies accounting for 22% of all reported data breaches globally [IBM], platforms like MX are critical. Learn more on our Features page.

Can MX handle classified or sensitive government documents?

Yes, Built for High-Sensitivity Data: MX applies AES-256 encryption and enhances it with the ASR (Anonymize, Shard, Restore) process. This ensures intercepted fragments are useless in isolation, guarding against espionage and insider threats.

Audit-Ready: All transfers generate immutable logs that can be reviewed under FISMA, CJIS, or IRS 1075 oversight requirements.

Explore our article on robust security features for public sector agencies.
