A document platform should make access easier without making it unclear who can reach what. Repora keeps documents, permissions and automation in shared spaces that an administrator can manage from one interface.

Connections between your browser and Repora are encrypted. Documents are processed on our servers, permissions decide who may open or edit each space, and every change is recorded against a version.

That gives a team a central place to store, review and route documents, and it makes the operating boundary explicit: Repora provides the controls, and your organisation decides what enters the workspace and who is admitted to it.

We state this plainly because procurement asks. Repora does not hold a SOC 2 report or an ISO certification, and we do not publish a contractual uptime commitment. What we do have is described below, and we will answer specific questions in writing.

Where Device-Only Workflows Create Risk

Keeping business documents on whichever laptop last touched them makes them hard to govern. The common problems are:

• Documents spread across laptops and phones are difficult to inventory, especially when several people handle the same material.
• Nobody can say which copy is current, so decisions are taken against a superseded version.
• A lost or shared device exposes local copies that sit outside any central control.
• Repeated forwarding weakens any record of who received a document and when.
• Large files consume local capacity even when somebody only needed to read them once.
• Scattered folders make retention, cleanup and day-to-day accountability harder to manage.

A shared workspace does not remove every security responsibility. It does remove unnecessary local copies and give document work a single point for access, review and management.

What Server-Side Processing Gives You

Conversions, scheduled jobs and automation rules run on our servers and file their results back into the shared space:

• A reviewer can read a document in the browser instead of creating another local copy.
• Encrypted connections protect data in transit between the browser and Repora.
• Shared-space permissions define a clear boundary around each set of documents.
• Central storage reduces the number of unmanaged copies across personal devices.
• Authorised colleagues reach the documents they need without asking someone to forward them.
• Search, file details and built-in viewers make it easier to identify the right item before acting on it.
• Automation rules handle recurring intake and routing, and the activity view records what each run did.

More Control over Everyday Document Work

A predictable workflow is easier to govern than a collection of ad hoc tools. Repora provides:

• Shared spaces where access to the documents inside is controlled in one place.
• Version history on every document, so the current copy and its predecessors are both identifiable.
• Built-in viewers for documents, PDFs, images, audio and video, so people can read a file without downloading it.
• Server-side conversions that return outputs to the workspace rather than requiring an unapproved desktop utility.
• Browser access, giving employees, contractors and external reviewers a consistent route to the same managed documents.

These capabilities reduce document sprawl and make routine actions easier to explain to an auditor. Your organisation still decides what is appropriate to store and who should have access.

How Access Is Granted and Removed

The model is deliberately simple, because complicated permission schemes are the ones that get misconfigured:

1. An administrator creates a shared space for a project, client or department.
2. People are invited to that space and given the level of access the work requires.
3. Removing a person from the space revokes their access immediately; the documents stay where they are.

Because permissions sit on the space rather than on individual copies, there is one place to check who can reach a set of documents, and one place to change it.

Where We Are and How We Handle Data

Repora is operated by Velvet Software Limited in Dublin, Ireland (company registration no. 633270). We describe the service in practical terms so a customer can assess how it fits their own data policies.

Documents are processed on Repora's servers. Encrypted connections protect data in transit, and permissions control entry to each shared space.

As an Irish company we handle personal data under EU data protection law. Our Privacy Policy sets out what we collect, why, how long we keep it and how to exercise your rights, including access and deletion.

Customers should apply their own governance requirements when deciding what to upload, connect or share. Repora's controls support that decision; they do not replace it.

If your organisation needs clarification about data handling or available controls, contact us before moving regulated or sensitive material into the service, and we will answer directly.

Accountable Storage

Documents filed into Repora stay in the shared space they belong to, where they can be organised and reviewed before anything is moved elsewhere.

Permissions limit entry to the space, and encrypted connections protect documents and instructions as they travel between the browser and Repora.

Central management gives a team a consistent inventory instead of leaving work distributed across folders on many machines.

Built-in viewers, search and server-side conversions let authorised people work with a document while the primary copy stays in the workspace.

Practical Account Controls

Good document governance starts with clear, repeatable account practices:

• Use unique credentials and protect the email account associated with Repora.
• Grant access to a space deliberately, and remove it when a working relationship ends.
• Review spaces and stored documents regularly so abandoned material does not sit there indefinitely.
• Use the activity view and version history to understand what was changed, by whom and when.

These habits complement Repora's encrypted connections and permission model. Together they make handling documents a defined process rather than an assumption.

Manage Documents with Confidence

Repora gives you a controlled route from an incoming document to a stored, searchable, viewable and governed file. The security model rests on encrypted connections, shared-space permissions, version history and central management.

The practical benefits are clear:

• Fewer unmanaged local copies when reading in the browser is enough for the task.
• A clearer inventory of what the organisation holds and where.
• Access from any browser without relaying documents between people.
• Central views for spaces, running jobs and completed work.
• Encrypted connections and permissions for routine access.
• Built-in viewers and conversions that reduce dependence on separate desktop tools.
• Automation rules that handle recurring intake and routing, with each run recorded.

For a team, the result is easier oversight and a more consistent handover from intake to approval. For an administrator, it is one place to answer the question of who can see what.

Use Repora as part of a considered data-handling process. Keep access limited, review stored material and contact us if you need more detail before adopting the platform for sensitive work.
