Departments · Records managers · Transition teams

Move records when departments merge or split, and show nothing changed on the way.

Transition teams upload records in bulk with DekkoDrive and organize them in a Fusion HUB with access by group. The index never shows anyone records above their classification ceiling.

Why records transfers are risky

When functions move between departments, years of records have to move with them, intact and only to the people who should see them.

Questions

What does a classification ceiling do?

Each person has a ceiling, and the server won't show them index entries classified above it.

Is the index encrypted?

The files are. Index attribute values, such as record numbers and dates, are stored unencrypted so they can be searched, so keep sensitive content out of attributes.

What happens when we remove someone's access?

Their access ends straight away. Anything they've already seen or downloaded isn't taken back.

How do we show records weren't changed?

Anyone can add a copy to DekkoSecure's file validator. A match shows where it came from, and a changed copy won't match.

How large can the transfer be?

There's no file size limit unless your tenancy sets one, and DekkoDrive for Windows uploads whole folders.
