Enabling secure collaboration across government and industry partners
Supporting controlled information sharing on a fast-moving multi-organisation programme
Read Time
A client working with a UK government organisation and several industry partners needed a secure way to collaborate across organisational boundaries. The programme involved a multidisciplinary team, sensitive information, and a need to work at pace.
The client’s existing working arrangements were not suitable for the type of collaboration required. Teams needed to share documents, communicate, work remotely, and coordinate activity across multiple organisations, while still operating in line with government security expectations.
Logiq was engaged to assess the requirement and provide a secure collaboration environment that could support the programme quickly, without forcing users into slow or impractical workarounds.
The client was part of a critical, fast-paced programme involving government and industry stakeholders. Several organisations needed to work together, but the collaboration model had to reflect the sensitivity of the information being handled.
The client needed to support remote working, document sharing, email and video conferencing, but standard corporate tools were not appropriate for the programme context. Informal workarounds would have increased risk, while overly restrictive controls would have slowed delivery.
The environment also needed to support different user types and access routes. Some users required dedicated secure endpoints. Others needed controlled access from mobile devices or existing secure endpoints. As the programme evolved, the client also needed the flexibility to adapt the service without redesigning the entire collaboration model.
Logiq worked with the client to understand the operational requirement, the security context and the different ways users needed to access the collaboration environment.
DISX Secure Collaboration was deployed to provide a managed environment for secure working between the client, government stakeholders and approved industry partners. The initial solution included dedicated secure endpoints, controlled mobile access and the ability to collaborate across existing secure endpoints.
The service was delivered within four weeks, giving the client a rapid route to secure collaboration without relying on unmanaged tools or fragmented information-sharing processes. As the client’s requirements developed, Logiq continued to adapt the environment. Further options were introduced, including access through virtual machines and controlled access to existing client-owned corporate services from the DISX platform.
Logiq provided a secure collaboration environment designed around the client’s immediate programme needs and evolving operational requirements.
The engagement included secure collaboration across multiple organisations, dedicated secure endpoints for approved users, controlled mobile access, support for users connecting from existing secure endpoints, virtual machine access options, and controlled access to existing corporate services through the DISX platform.
The result was not simply a technology deployment. It was a managed collaboration model that allowed multiple organisations to work together in a more controlled, usable and consistent way.
The client was able to collaborate remotely with government and industry stakeholders within a secure managed environment. Teams could share information, communicate and coordinate activity without relying on unsuitable tools or ad hoc workarounds.
The rapid deployment helped the client meet an urgent programme need, while the later enhancements allowed the service to evolve as the client’s priorities changed.
For the client, the value of DISX was the combination of secure collaboration, managed access, endpoint options and operational support.
Complex government and industry programmes depend on collaboration, but sensitive information cannot be treated like ordinary business content. Users need a way to work effectively across organisations without losing control of how information is accessed, shared and managed.
This engagement showed how DISX Secure Collaboration can provide that working model: secure enough for sensitive collaboration, but usable enough to support real delivery.
