Client-Ready Secure Upload Portals for Sensitive Files

01. Can clients upload files securely using My MX Data?

Yes – My MX Data offers a secure, branded portal that allows clients to upload sensitive files directly into your workflow. With built-in encryption, access controls, and real-time activity tracking, our platform ensures that every file transfer is fully protected and compliant with industry standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and GLBA.

Unlike traditional file upload methods, such as email attachments or cloud drives, MX guarantees that files are never exposed via public links or unsecured channels. All uploaded files are encrypted in transit and stored with our patented ASR (Anonymize, Shard, Restore) encryption model, ensuring that only verified users can access them.

Features designed for secure client file uploads:

• Branded Upload Portals: Clients can upload files through a custom portal that reflects your brand’s identity.
• End-to-End Encryption: Files are encrypted during upload and at rest using industry-leading AES-256 encryption.
• Named-User Access: Only authorized users can upload or access files – eliminating the risk of accidental exposure.
• Audit Logs: Every upload is logged for transparency, including timestamps, IP addresses, and user details.
• Region-Locked Storage: Store files in specific regions to comply with data residency requirements.

As data security regulations tighten, tools like MX offer businesses the secure, compliant file intake process that is essential for safeguarding client information.

02. Can clients submit files through MX without needing an account?

You bet! My MX Data makes it easy for your clients, partners, or vendors to upload files securely without needing to create an account. Our branded upload portals are designed for frictionless intake while still maintaining enterprise-grade security and full compliance controls.

Instead of relying on email attachments or open public folders, MX gives your clients a clean, on-brand experience where they can drag-and-drop files directly into your encrypted environment. You stay in control of where the files go, who sees them, and how long they’re retained.

Key features of our secure client upload experience include:

• No Account Required: Clients can submit documents via a secure, one-time upload page linked to your brand and domain.
• Encryption by Default: Files are encrypted in transit and at rest using AES-256 and our ASR (Anonymize, Shard, Restore) protocol.
• Custom Intake Forms: Collect additional details alongside file uploads, such as names, project IDs, or case references.
• Instant Alerts: Get notified as soon as a file is submitted for faster processing and collaboration.
• Audit Logging: Every upload is recorded and traceable for compliance with standards like CCPA or HIPAA.

This is particularly useful for industries that handle sensitive inbound files – such as law, finance, and healthcare – where the stakes for secure intake are high and convenience matters.

03. Can uploads be organized or tagged for internal teams?

Absolutely. My MX Data allows uploaded files to be immediately categorized, tagged, and routed within your internal workflows – so teams never waste time searching or guessing where critical files go.

When a client submits a file through the secure portal, your organization can:

• Auto-tag by project, department, or user group: Enable faster sorting and internal prioritization.
• Route files based on upload source: Assign files directly to the relevant team (e.g., legal, finance, or compliance).
• Use metadata for filtering and search: Improve discoverability and reduce manual tracking across teams.
• Control visibility by team or role: Ensure only authorized users see and handle submitted data.

Combined with our Enterprise Document Management and Secure Data Storage capabilities, this upload-to-action pipeline empowers your teams to stay organized and compliant without sacrificing speed or security.

This level of branding is especially useful for firms in finance, legal, healthcare, and consulting, where professionalism and trust are critical. Features include:

• Branded upload pages: Use your logo, brand colors, and welcome messaging for a consistent experience.
• Custom portal URLs: Maintain a professional look with secure links personalized to your domain.

05. Are file uploads timestamped and tracked for auditing purposes?

They absolutely are! Every file uploaded through a My MX Data secure portal is automatically timestamped and recorded for full traceability. Whether your client is submitting documents or a partner is contributing project files, MX ensures that each action is documented with precision.

This level of tracking supports your organization’s compliance efforts by offering real-time visibility into who uploaded what, when, and from where. The audit data is exportable, helping you prepare for internal reviews or third-party audits without the stress of manual logging.

• Upload Timestamping: Each file is marked with the exact time and date it was received by the system.
• User Identity Logging: MX ties every upload to a verified user account or portal session.
• Audit Trail Generation: Produce records of all incoming files for compliance teams or external regulators.
• Retention Policy Integration: Automatically apply expiration rules or classification tags post-upload.

According to Varonis, 9.2% of externally shared files contain sensitive data – making timestamped tracking not just beneficial, but essential. MX’s robust audit capabilities ensure your intake workflows stay secure and compliant from the very first upload.

With My MX Data, every client or team submission is accounted for – supporting transparency, compliance, and peace of mind at scale.
