Exertis Cybersecurity partners with ShelterZoom for advanced document security

Exertis Cybersecurity has entered into a strategic partnership with ShelterZoom to expand its portfolio with advanced document security technologies.

This collaboration introduces ShelterZoom's Document GPS to Exertis Cybersecurity's offerings, seeking to equip organisations with enhanced capabilities to secure, control, and manage digital documents while meeting global compliance requirements.

Document security needs

The partnership comes at a time when digital threats are evolving rapidly, with organisations under increased pressure to protect sensitive information across all points of exchange. The integration of ShelterZoom's technologies, especially Document GPS, is designed to address these concerns by enabling security and traceability at the document level, regardless of where files travel beyond the network perimeter.

"As AI and malware develop at a breathtaking speed, we're seeing a drastic increase in AI-enabled security threats and sophisticated email malware, demanding new, superior technology that can scale fully and continuously to such fast-evolving attacks," said ShelterZoom's co-founder and CEO Chao Cheng-Shorland. "ShelterZoom's Document GPS is precisely that kind of technology, one that can ensure solutions not only for today, but for tomorrow."

Capabilities of Document GPS

ShelterZoom's flagship product, Document GPS, is described as a solution that redefines the norms of document ownership and monitoring. Integrated with Microsoft Outlook and Gmail platforms, Document GPS functions as an alternative to standard attachment sharing by allowing users to protect, control, and even revoke access to documents without sending physical files.

Among the features available are advanced screenshot blocking, document watermarking, restrictions on download and sharing, and electronic signing directly within email workflows. The technology also reduces data storage redundancies and potential exposure to attacks, as every document interaction remains within a controlled, monitored environment.

Document GPS leverages blockchain-based tokenisation to maintain an immutable chain of custody for documents and withstand potential threats, including those arising from artificial intelligence or quantum computing developments.

Cheng-Shorland noted, "With growing global demand for data sovereignty, ransomware prevention, and regulatory compliance (including HIPAA and CIRCIA in the U.S., and the EU's DORA), Document GPS offers organisations a simple yet powerful way to turn every employee into a data protector."

Meeting compliance requirements

As regulatory frameworks around data handling intensify worldwide, business interest in robust document-level security continues to rise. Compliance-driven sectors such as healthcare and finance, as well as enterprises handling sensitive intellectual property, require solutions that can enforce protections beyond traditional network boundaries.

Dominic Ryles, Sales & Alliance Director at Exertis Cybersecurity, commented, "We're thrilled to welcome ShelterZoom to the Exertis Cybersecurity family. Document GPS is exactly what organisations across EMEA need right now: a simple yet powerful plug-and-play solution that puts security and control back in the hands of users. It's a game changer for digital ownership, secure file sharing, and the prevention of data loss and email compromise, particularly in today's compliance-driven landscape."

Expanding reach and global ambitions

Through this partnership, ShelterZoom aims to extend its reach to more clients in EMEA, leveraging Exertis Cybersecurity's established channels to accelerate adoption of its document security suite.

Chao Cheng-Shorland highlighted the importance of the new partnership, stating, "Partnering with Exertis Cybersecurity marks a major milestone in ShelterZoom's global expansion. Their trust in us and lightning-fast onboarding speaks volumes. Together, we'll empower thousands of organisations across EMEA to regain control over their digital assets and future-proof their operations."

Commitment to security and accountability

The agreement underscores Exertis Cybersecurity's intentions to provide its customers and partners with security solutions suited to current and future compliance challenges, as cybersecurity threats and regulatory obligations continue to evolve. Incorporating ShelterZoom's document tracking and management tools is meant to support secure electronic communication and reduce points of vulnerability throughout an organisation's digital ecosystem.
