Secure PDF sharing for government teams and NGOs
Public sector organisations and NGOs handle documents that carry real accountability requirements, from policy briefs and grant reports to sensitive casework. WeTransfer gives your team encrypted file transfers, granular access controls, and a shared workspace designed to keep every PDF in the right hands.
A secure space for your team
Government bodies and NGOs move sensitive PDFs across departments, partner organisations, and external stakeholders who all need appropriate access without any margin for error. Every transfer is protected with TLS encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest, stored on EU-based AWS servers in Ireland, with ISO 27001 certification and full GDPR compliance built in. Data Processing Agreements are available on business plans to satisfy procurement and compliance requirements that public sector and third-sector organisations commonly face. You can restrict any PDF transfer to a verified list of named email addresses, require a password before anyone opens it, and enable download tracking to produce a clear, timestamped record of exactly who accessed which document. Organisations that need coordinated oversight can bring multiple teams under one shared workspace with centralized admin controls, while those with stricter governance requirements can add SSO, advanced access management, usage logs, and custom transfer rules at the Enterprise level.

Every file is encrypted with TLS while it travels across the network and with AES-256 once stored on WeTransfer's servers, which are located in EU-based AWS data centers in Ireland. WeTransfer is ISO 27001 certified and fully GDPR-compliant, and Data Processing Agreements are available on business plans for organisations that need formal documentation to satisfy procurement, audit, or data protection obligations.
Yes. When creating any transfer you can enable restricted access, which requires recipients to verify their email address and grants download access only to the specific addresses you have listed. You can also add a password to the transfer as a second layer of protection, so even someone who obtains the link cannot open the PDF without the password you share separately.
Download tracking is available on all plans and, when enabled by the sender, logs each download with the recipient's details and an exact timestamp. For transfers with restricted access, you receive a detailed notification each time someone downloads, giving you a clear record that can support accountability requirements, grant reporting, or internal audit processes.
Recipients can open and read PDFs directly in the browser without downloading the file first, which is useful when colleagues or partners are working on managed devices or slow connections. They can also leave comments on individual files and flag sections that need attention, keeping review cycles moving without requiring anyone to pull the full document locally.
A shared workspace brings all team members under one account with centralised billing and admin visibility over transfers across the organisation. Teams plan supports up to 50 members with shared branding, shared storage, and coordinated oversight, while Enterprise adds unlimited members, SSO, SCIM provisioning, custom transfer rules, usage logs, advanced access management, and premium support for organisations with more demanding compliance or governance requirements.
