This page will be periodically updated with information about new features (✨), upgrades (⚡️) and platform status alerts (🏗️). You can view older updates here.
22nd November, 2024
- New ✨: Content Access Admin The Tenancy Manager Policies page has been updated to include a new administration tool designed to centralise content access. When enabled, a nominated account is automatically granted access to all files uploaded to Hubs within the Tenancy. This feature is particularly valuable for organisations with strict regulatory requirements mandating centralised access control. For more information, visit the Tenancy Policies page.
16th November, 2024
- Updated ⚡️: DekkoSecure-AU compliance DekkoSecure's renewed IRAP PROTECTED assessment (June 2024 ISM) is complete! Please reach out to your account manager or get in touch using the contact form on dekkosecure.com to obtain the relevant documentation.
- New ✨: Auto-ZIP for big uploads Uploads on DekkoSecure are getting bigger every day! Of course, this is supported by our lack of file size or file volume upload limits - however - we’re introduced a new capability that makes sharing big uploads even faster. The DekkoSecure app can now automatically compress your upload in to a ZIP file! This means upload size will be reduced, and the encryption scheme will be simplified to just one key. This introduces greatly reduced upload time, especially when uploading large volumes to folders that are already shared. Auto-ZIP works a little differently depending on how many files you’re uploading:
- For uploads of 30-1000 files, you’ll have the option to upload the folder as-is, or ZIP
- For uploads of 1000+ files, the app will automatically ZIP the folder
8th November, 2024
- Updated ⚡️: Tenancy Manager user search speed The magic behind the the user search function in the Tenancy Manager has been updated with… better magic! 🧙♂️ Searching (and filtering) now loads instantaneously - even in large Tenancies with thousands of users.
28 October, 2024
- New ✨: Thumbnail browsing view The file browser has been updated with a view which shows your content as a thumbnail view 🎆 which has previews for all viewable images and PDFs. Use the view switcher in the navigation bar to change from list view. Your view preference will be remembered after logging out, so you won’t need to switch every time you log in! Note - folders will always be displayed on top, and content content sorting can be adjusted using the sort dropdown.
- New ✨: Metadata display for images Detailed photo metadata can now be accessed via the ⓘ button in the photo viewer. When present, information such as original create date, capture device information, software origination and location data will be shown. This update applies to photos that already in the DekkoSecure platform!
2 September, 2024
- New ✨: AI Knowledge Base bot 🐨 We’ve enabled a GPT-powered assistant on the knowledge base search which is trained on every article contained within this site. To open it, click on the search bar and then Ask the Knowledge Bot. You can use natural language prompts in your queries, for example, “Which file formats does DekkoSecure support for sharing with download prevention?”. Answers will always contain a reference article, so make sure you check the link provided for more detail and guidance. Please be nice, it’s still learning!
13 August, 2024
- New ✨: Recommended workflow guidance article The knowledge base contains dozens of comprehensive articles about how to use every feature of the DekkoSecure platform, but these might leave you wondering how a feature (or combination of features) can be used for real-world applications and use cases. For example, you might think, "How can I create a space to receive files?” - this is exactly what our new workflow recommendations page is for! Each topic has easy steps and a GIF or screenshot example showing exactly what to do. To start off we’ve added these 5 common use cases: - Create a space to receive files - Share files that support a signature request - Set up a new collaborative document - Share a file with a group of people that can’t see each other - Share files with everyone in a Hub We’ll be adding more use cases over the coming weeks, so be sure to check this page if you have a workflow query, or you’re a DekkoSecure guru that needs to send a guide to one of your colleagues.
5 August, 2024
- Maintenance 🏗️: The DekkoSecure-AU platform (au.dekko.io) will be undergoing maintenance from 6pm AEST on 16/08/24. The expected maintenance period is 4 hours, and access to the platform will be limited for at least 1 hour from the commencement of the maintenance window. Please plan any critical usage around this time and check dekkosecure.statuspage.io for updates (and don’t forget to subscribe!).
- New ✨: Automated Single Sign-On registration flow Organisations that have integrated Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) SSO with the DekkoSecure application will now be able to register their domain(s) with us to enforce SSO registration. This means whenever your users receive an invite, they’ll get an email with a link that takes them to a dedicated SSO registration page instead of the typical “internal” account registration page:
15 May, 2024
- New ✨: Hub membership management Tenant admins can now manage users’ Hub memberships and roles from a single menu, with the ability to add a user to a Hub even if the Tenant admin is not a member of said Hub. To access the membership control menu, open the [⋯] button in the user’s entry on the user management page, then manage Hub memberships:
3 May, 2024
- New ✨: Mass share The sharing menu now includes an options to select sharing recipients from the contact list in the selected Hub. You can select users individually, select all using the All users check box, or do an All users selection and then uncheck individuals. All recipients in a mass share have the same permission. To individualise permissions, share the content and then switch to the regular share tab - permissions can be updated on a per-user basis.
12th March, 2024
- New ✨: Restrict root upload and sharing for External users This new Hub policy disables the following for External users in the Hub:
- The ability to upload files to the root of a Hub
- The ability to access the sharing menu for files they upload
When this policy is enabled, External users will only be able to upload files in to folders that are shared with them. In additional, they must be granted permission to upload (either Download + upload or Full permissions). The end result is that the folder owner has absolute control over who can access files in the folder. The policy also disables the ability to access the share menu for External users, so they will not be able to edit (add or remove) shared users for files that they upload.
- Updated ⚡️: Hide Meetings button The Meetings button can now be hidden, either as a Tenancy policy (go to the Hubs tab) or as a per-Hub policy (during Hub creation or in the branding section of the Hub’s settings). Note: users who have the Meetings button hidden will still be able to participate in video conferences if they are invited to one.
31st January, 2024
- Updated ⚡️: PDF viewer PDF documents are now displayed using the native document viewer that is built in to your browser! This introduces scrolling, search (ctrl-F on your keyboard 😎), bookmark selection and a download/print button to the viewing interface. You can also view the document’s metadata by selecting Document properties in the menu dropdown. PDF documents that are shared view-only or opened on iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) will be displayed using the controlled viewer that was previously in place, which prevents download, text copying and downloads.
8th January, 2024

29th November, 2023
- New ✨: Microsoft Sentinel integration For customers looking to extend audit logging using automated feeds, DekkoSecure is now offering native integration with Microsoft Sentinel. Logs can include the full standard internal audit logging content, as well as additional items such as failed authentication attempts and file names. Check out the knowledge base article to learn more!
- Updated ⚡️: Invite permission control for Team Member invites When you select Team Member for a new user in a Hub, you’ll be able to choose whether they are able to send invites. If your permissions requirements change in the future, you can grant or restrict invite permission in the Hub management view.
27th November, 2023
- Updated ⚡️: Upload processing for large volume uploads and sharing Uploading and sharing has been turbocharged! We won’t go in to the nerdy details here, but an incredible engineering effort has resulted in up to 8x faster upload and share times. The next time you upload a large file, folder, or group of files (especially to a shared folder), prepare to be amazed!
You’ll need to be on a Chromium-based web browser (Chrome, Edge or Brave) version 110 or newer for this update to take full effect. Performance on Safari and Firefox has also improved greatly, but not quite as much as on Chromium due to disparities in the way each browser engine works. You can check your browser version at whatismybrowser.com. GIF content credit - National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Atlantis launch July 2011
- Updated ⚡️: filter by status The quick-filter now includes searching by status tag. If your organisation has set up a tag such as “Complete”, simply enter the tag partially or in full to focus the file listing on a matching search term.
24th November, 2023
- New ✨: In-app playback support for MP4 And… videos can also be shared view-only!
- New ✨: User list export (Tenancy Manager) If you need to report on users in a Tenancy, simply set/enter a filter term (if needed) and then press the Export Users button. This will generated a CSV for external analysis.
Result CSV example:
- New ✨: Double-click to open Just like the file explorer on your Windows or Mac device, you can now double-click on viewable files to open them using in the in-app file viewer.
