Sharing Archived Documents Securely with External Users

Some archived documents need to leave the organisation, but external sharing should not mean losing control. Teams need a practical way to provide access to customers, suppliers or partners while protecting confidential information.

The Challenge: Ad Hoc Sharing Weakens Control

Emailing copies creates duplicate files, makes access difficult to revoke and can separate the document from its audit history. Shared folders may also expose more content than the recipient should see.

The Lasernet Approach: Controlled External Access

Lasernet Keep can make selected document sets available to users outside the corporate domain while retaining structured metadata, access control and archive governance. The same record remains available internally for search, audit and operational use.

Why It Matters

The benefits are clear:

  • Security: external users receive only the document sets they are authorised to access
  • Governance: shared content remains connected to the central archive and its metadata
  • Service: customers and suppliers can receive information without repeated manual handling

Share Information Without Creating Document Sprawl

Controlled archive access gives external stakeholders the information they need while helping the organisation maintain one governed copy and a clearer record of use.
