Protect mission-critical information with zero compromise. Prevent breaches before they happen.
In defence and national security, information is as critical as equipment on the ground. Objective Connect ensures that when you share or collaborate with allies, contractors or agencies, data remains under sovereign control. Every file is encrypted. Every interaction is tracked. Every user action is accountable. Defence-grade security, built on Zero Trust architecture, protects your mission from the inside out.
Zero Trust Architecture
No implicit trust - every request is authenticated and verified. Role-based access ensures that even inside the perimeter, data remains protected. This prevents lateral movement by malicious actors and eliminates shadow access.
All files are stored in AWS protected zones within Australia. Data never leaves sovereign control. With IRAP assessment and alignment to ACSC ISM, Objective Connect meets the security standards required for sensitive and protected-level data.
User permissions can be set at workspace, folder or file level. Options include view-only, edit, download or preview-only. Admins can revoke access instantly if a partner contract ends or a user's clearance changes.
Create collaboration hubs in less than a minute. Invite partners instantly, without lengthy IT processes. These workspaces allow multiple organisations to collaborate without exposing internal networks.
Real-time collaboration without version chaos
Work from one source of truth. Co-author documents, annotate and mark up securely. Version control is automatic, eliminating duplication and ensuring everyone works from the same file.
Support for any file type, any size
Objective Connect handles CAD drawings, large imagery, video and operational reports just as easily as PDF's or Word dcouments. Whether online or offline, access remains secure.
Tamper-proof audit trail
Every action, from file upload to download, is captured automatically. Logs cannot be altered, ensuring defensible accountability for sensitive projects.
