Managed security protects devices and mail. Workspaces give human rights defenders a place they control for the work itself.
Workspaces

A private workspace so your team owns its data.

Investigative teams, legal clinics, and advocacy organizations need files, documents, and collaboration that are not trapped in personal drives or a generic SaaS stack. Workspaces are the data-ownership layer beside managed device, account, and mail protection — not a helpline and not a training course. Secure Origin operates the platform. You own the content, the access list, and the export path.

Why this exists

An autonomous network for the work you hold.

Sensitive materials should not live only on personal laptops and consumer cloud accounts. A workspace gives your team a shared place with backups, access control, and a clean exit.

Own the files

Project folders, drafts, and working materials in one operated space — not scattered across personal drives.

Own the collaboration

Browser document editing and, on dedicated spaces, chat scoped to your organization.

Own the exit

Export and offboarding are written down before launch. When a project ends, the data can leave with you.

What you get

Files, documents, and collaboration. Operated for you.

Workspaces are a standard stack, not a custom infrastructure project. Onboarding, backups, access changes, support boundaries, and export paths are defined before work starts.

File sharing
Private folders, project spaces, storage quotas, access changes, and clean export when a project closes.
Document editing
Browser-based editing for documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. We do not host your email.
Team collaboration
Dedicated workspaces can include chat and calls for internal coordination, scoped to one organization.
Structured trackers
Optional database-style tools for records, case trackers, or project data when a spreadsheet is not enough.
Backups and recovery
Encrypted backup operations, restore expectations, and a clear path if something goes wrong.
Bounded support
We operate the platform. Your team owns the work, the content, and day-to-day use inside the tools.
Boundaries

Collaboration jobs, clearer ownership.

You keep the mail provider you already use. The workspace covers files, documents, and internal collaboration — with export when you leave.

Files

Managed storage and project folders for sensitive materials and working files.

Documents

Browser editing for writing, review, spreadsheets, and presentations.

Chat where dedicated

Dedicated team workspaces can include Mattermost chat and calls, scoped to one organization.

No email hosting

Email stays with your provider. Workspaces stay on collaboration and data ownership.

Workspace options

Shared collective space or a dedicated org workspace.

The difference is tenancy. Shared spaces fit small collectives and projects. Dedicated spaces give one organization its own environment, placement choices, and support boundaries.
