Document Security Software | HERO

Document security software for collaborative teams

Protect sensitive documents while keeping them usable - through secure workspaces, audit-ready history, controlled workflows, and safer execution from draft to signature.

Document security fails when the process around it isn't secure.

Teams share links to anyone, edit without records, sign through personal email, and store final versions in folders no one audits. Security tools protect the file — but the workflow leaks.

How it works

Complete walkthrough of the feature, step by step.

Step 1

Set document permissions before sharing

Assign access by role — viewer, commenter, or editor — before a document goes to a counterparty or external reviewer. Prevent accidental edits or unauthorized exports from the start.

Step 2

Track every change with a full audit history

Every edit, comment, and status change is logged with a timestamp and user record. When a contract is questioned or a procedure is audited, you have a complete, exportable record of who did what and when.

Step 3

Route documents through controlled approval workflows

Define who approves each document type and in what order. HERO enforces the sequence — no document moves forward without the right sign-off, reducing the risk of unauthorized versions reaching signatories.

Step 4

Execute documents with tracked, role-based signatures

Send documents for signature within HERO and see exactly who has viewed, signed, or declined. Signature requests stay linked to the document record — not buried in email.

Automate your document workflow

We help you work better, faster & smarter with no compromise on control, accuracy or reliability.. and we do it with a design-led approach, mindful of inclusion and neurodiversity (ie. dyslexia, ADHD, etc.)

Workspace-level access controls

Restrict who can view, edit, or export a document based on their role. Set permissions at the workspace level, not just the document, so sensitive materials stay contained by default.

Immutable change history

Every edit is automatically versioned and attributed. You can review any prior state, compare versions, and export a full change log for compliance or legal review.

Structured approval workflows

Build multi-step approval chains that enforce order and accountability. No document proceeds without explicit sign-off from every required reviewer.

Integrated signature tracking

Send documents for e-signature within HERO. Track open, viewed, signed, and declined status in real time — all linked to the original document.

What makes us unique

Unlike tools that only protect the file, HERO secures the entire document workflow — access, edits, approvals, and signatures — not just the stored file.

Unlike generic permissions models, HERO applies role-based access at the workspace level, so sensitive documents are never accidentally exposed to the wrong person.

Unlike disconnected signing tools, HERO keeps signature requests attached to the document record — with full visibility into status and a tamper-evident audit trail.

Who is it for?

Legal and compliance teams

Contracts and policies need to be drafted, reviewed, and approved with a clear record at every stage. HERO keeps the entire process — from first draft to signed copy — in one auditable workspace.

Finance and procurement teams

Vendor agreements, purchase orders, and financial documents require controlled access, clear approvals, and signed records. HERO builds the paper trail into the workflow itself.

HR and people operations

Offer letters, onboarding documents, and policy updates need to reach the right people and get signed in the right order. HERO tracks every step without email chains.

Operations and quality teams

SOPs, process docs, and compliance records need version control, review cycles, and distribution tracking. HERO keeps operational documentation structured and current.

Questions you might have

Is HERO built for security-sensitive document work?
Yes. HERO is designed for documents that require controlled access, tracked changes, and auditable approval workflows. It's not a general-purpose doc tool — it's built for formal document work where accountability matters.

Can I control who sees and edits a document?
Yes. You can assign viewer, commenter, or editor roles at both the workspace and document level. Access is set before sharing, not after the fact.

Does HERO keep a record of every change?
Every edit, comment, status change, and approval is logged with a timestamp and user record. You can export a full audit trail at any time.

How does document approval work in HERO?
You define an approval sequence — who reviews in what order — and HERO enforces it. A document cannot advance to the next stage until the current approver signs off.

Can documents be signed inside HERO?
Yes. You can send documents for e-signature within HERO. Signature status — viewed, signed, declined — is tracked in real time and linked to the document record.

Is HERO suitable for regulated industries?
HERO's audit history, permission controls, and approval workflows are designed with compliance needs in mind. Teams in legal, finance, HR, and operations use HERO to maintain document integrity across high-stakes workflows.
