Email attachments are where sensitive documents go to be forgotten by you and kept forever by strangers. Foundry Portal replaces the "can you resend that?" treadmill with two things: a branded, private space where your clients find their documents, invoices and updates — and secure file sharing where access expires when the reason for it does.
Here's the service, in black and white
| Item | What it actually means for you |
|---|---|
| Client portal | A branded, private area where your clients log in to find documents, statements, invoices and updates without emailing you. Plays beautifully for regulated or reputation-driven industries. |
| Secure file sharing | Files sent by trackable, expiring, authenticated links instead of attachments. Sensitive documents stop living forever in strangers' inboxes. |
| Access control | See who opened what and when, and turn access off when you need to. Departing clients, finished projects, changed minds — all handled. |
| Audit trail | Downloads and views are logged, so you can answer "who saw this, and when?" with evidence, not guesses. |
| Your brand, not ours | The portal carries your name and colours. Clients see a professional extension of your business — not a third-party tool they have to trust on your say-so. |
Professional by default
Every professional services business has the same quiet embarrassment: sensitive contracts and accounts flying around as email attachments. A portal signals the opposite — that you handle client information the way they'd want you to. It's not just safer; it wins the kind of clients who notice.
