Documents Hub is designed with security and privacy at its core, ensuring that your sensitive information is protected at all times. This guide explains the measures in place to safeguard your documents and how you can take additional steps to enhance security.

How Documents Hub Protects Your Data

1. End-to-End Encryption

All documents stored in Documents Hub are encrypted using advanced cryptographic techniques.
Data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, ensuring it cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties.

2. Decentralized Identity Framework

Documents Hub leverages OnePass’s decentralized identity framework to verify the authenticity of users and documents.
This eliminates the need for centralized storage, reducing the risk of data breaches.

3. Access Control

Startups and investors have full control over who can access their documents.
Access levels (view or write) can be set for each user, ensuring sensitive information is only shared with trusted parties.

When sharing documents, users can create password-protected links for added security.
Only users with the password can access the document, even if the link is shared externally.

5. Version Control and Audit Trails

All changes to documents are tracked with version history, providing a clear audit trail.
Users can restore previous versions if needed, ensuring data integrity.

6. Secure Collaboration

Real-time collaboration tools are protected by encryption, ensuring that comments and edits remain private.
Only users with the appropriate access levels can view or edit shared documents.
