Security & Privacy for your External Collaborations

External collaborations are business-critical and routinely involve sensitive documents and files. The tool you choose must adhere to the highest security and privacy standards.
‍
In today’s day and age, we’re all concerned about the security and privacy of our data.

That individual issue becomes a mutual concern when you work on sensitive documents and files with external stakeholders—be it clients, vendors, or partners. The potential for leaks, hacks, or loss of that collaboration content carries confidentiality implications for both you and your counterparties. That’s why it’s perplexing that many professionals continue to use email, one of the least secure methods, for sending attachments, risking not only their own privacy and reputation but also the security of everyone else.

TakeTurns raises the bar on both security and privacy for your collaborations that matter.

Built-in Security and Privacy Features

Our underlying technology has enabled us to implement built-in features that enable you to comply with your security, privacy, and confidentiality policies and regulationsTakeTurns is built on an immutable and secure ledger that records all your external collaboration events. It automatically generates a timeline containing every file you share or request, every document you review or revise, and every message you exchange with external stakeholders.

The TakeTurns Collaboration Ledger is how we ensure the integrity, transparency, and compliance of your business-critical collaborations.

Verified participants

With TakeTurns, the identity of each participant is verified using a one-time code.

This method is more secure when compared to sending shareable links.

Avoid the pitfalls of uncontrolled cc: lists, ensuring intentional communication.

Ephemeral storage

When a collaboration is wrapped-up (e.g., completed), all participants have access to a complete archive of the collaboration content. This includes all messages, all chats, and all versions of the documents and files that were exchanged. The archive is available for a 30-day grace period, allowing ample time for everyone to download and securely store the necessary content. After this grace period, all content is removed from TakeTurns.
