Secure file sharing built for government and NGOs

Government agencies and NGOs handle sensitive documents, field reports, and confidential data that need to reach the right people without falling into the wrong hands. WeTransfer gives you strong encryption, granular access controls, and a shared workspace where administrators can manage every transfer across the organisation from one place.

A secure space for your team

Public sector teams and NGOs operate under strict data governance requirements, and WeTransfer is built to meet them. Every transfer is encrypted with TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest, stored on EU-based AWS servers in Ireland, and backed by ISO 27001 certification and full GDPR compliance, with Data Processing Agreements available on business plans. You can lock transfers behind a password, restrict downloads to a verified list of named email addresses, and enable download tracking to capture a timestamped record of who accessed which file. For teams that need broader oversight, a shared workspace lets administrators manage members, monitor transfers, and enforce consistent branding and security settings across the whole organisation. Organisations with the most demanding governance requirements can layer in single sign-on, custom transfer rules, advanced access management, and usage logs.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. WeTransfer encrypts all files with TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest, stores data on AWS servers in Ireland within the EU, and holds ISO 27001 certification. The service is fully GDPR-compliant, and Data Processing Agreements are available on business plans for organisations that need them for regulatory or procurement purposes.


You can restrict any transfer so that only people on a specific list of verified email addresses can download it. When someone opens the link, they must verify their email before access is granted, and you receive a notification each time a download occurs. This gives teams handling confidential case files, policy documents, or donor data precise control over who sees what.


A shared workspace lets administrators manage all team members, oversee transfers sent across the organisation, and apply consistent branding and settings centrally. On Teams plans, up to 50 members share storage and billing under one workspace, while on Enterprise plans organisations can add SSO, SCIM provisioning, custom transfer rules, usage logs, and advanced access management to meet stricter internal governance requirements.


SAML SSO is available on Enterprise plans and can be configured with providers including Google Workspace and Microsoft Azure. Once set up, all non-admin members are redirected to your identity provider to authenticate, keeping access management inside your existing security infrastructure. Enterprise plans also support SCIM provisioning for automated user lifecycle management.


Enterprise plans include an Activity Log that gives workspace administrators a chronological record of security-relevant events, capturing the actor's name, email, IP address, country, and timestamp for each action. Logs can be browsed in the admin dashboard, exported to CSV, or streamed into a SIEM via a pollable JSON API, making it straightforward to satisfy internal audit or external compliance requirements.
