Secure File Transfer for Government and Public Services
Maytech provide a cloud platform that allows secure and reliable data transfer for the public sector.
Government organisations, including local authorities, InnovateUK and Defra, use Maytech services to share data with counterparties and to acquire data from external organisations and the public.
Using Maytech, public sector data can be transferred using SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS or using automated systems. Data acquisition workflows can be optimised using integrated web forms to collect files and any associated meta data required. A public API is also available to facilitate additional custom workflows. PGP is supported to provide end-to-end data encryption.
All Maytech’s government file transfer products feature central administrative controls, full audit trails and end-to-end encryption providing full control and visibility of data for data owners. They comply with international standards including PCI-DSS and EU Data Protection.
