Egress Secure Workspace Guide

Egress is a file share service. This will be used as a way of securely transferring documents to other trusts and local authorities. Rather than sending a secure email, you will be able to place them within Egress and share the link to these. There are various security levels and ways of sending; please see the guide below on how to start using Egress.

Accessing Secure Workspace

Navigate to mtw.egresscloud.com; you should see the screen below prompting for a login.

You will have been assigned a specific account with particular permissions. Your Egress Account Manager will provide this to you.

Creating a Zone in Secure Workspace

After successfully logging in, you will see with the screen below. The ‘Zones’ that you see will differ, depending on which Zones you have created or been given access to.

To create a new zone, select My Zones on the sidebar, then press New Zone. Give the new Zone a title and description. Use the dropdown menu to specify the security group of the Zone. Ensure the Zone is active by checking the tick box at the bottom of the page, then select Create. Please see below

Enter the email address(es) of the people you wish to share with. If you wish, choose a custom message and a link expiration date. The people will receive these details in their email. Use the drop down menu under Link Permission to choose the access level of the recipients. Press save and the invitation will send.
