Sharing Intellectual Property During Bids or Tenders

2 Jun, 2025

The Problem

To receive accurate, cost-effective bids, organizations often need to share sensitive data with potential suppliers. Traditional methods like NDAs or physical data rooms are hard to enforce, jurisdictionally complicated, and often limit collaboration—potentially reducing the quality of proposals.

GuardWare PROTECT Solution

GuardWare PROTECT enables secure sharing with third parties while retaining full control over your data. Suppliers receive encrypted files they can access and edit on their own devices—only if permissions are granted. If a file is shared with an unauthorized person or exfiltrated, it becomes instantly inaccessible. Once the tender is complete, your team can revoke or delete access at any time—ensuring nothing remains in circulation.
