Enterprise exchange infrastructure - in your environment.
Compliant by design.
Tier-1 financial institutions still route document exchange through email — no audit trail, no chain of custody, no governed compliance surface. SideDrawer replaces that with auditable operational infrastructure deployed in your environment, integrated into your CRM, and governed by your security architecture.

By Line of Business
One platform. Every business line.
SideDrawer deploys as dedicated, isolated infrastructure per line of business. Select your segment to see how it applies to your specific workflows and compliance requirements.
Wealth & Private Banking
Replace secure email. Give advisors a vault their clients actually use.
Bank-owned wealth divisions operate at the intersection of advisor productivity and regulatory compliance. Document exchange still runs on secure email — which means advisors can't see what a client actually opened, compliance can't reconstruct a chain of custody, and every sensitive file lands in an inbox with no audit trail.
SideDrawer deploys as a white-label vault within your existing advisor experience — embedded in Salesforce, launched from your CRM managed package widget, and authenticated through your existing Azure Entra or Okta identity infrastructure. Advisors work inside their normal environment. Clients access a portal under your brand. Nothing goes over email.
Multi-party estate coordination is handled natively — lawyers and accountants are added as collaborators with RBAC-controlled access. All activity is logged, timestamped, and available via audit report or API. Signed documents route directly to your ECM for compliance archival without a separate workflow step.

Direct Investing
Client document exchange at scale — with full regulatory auditability.
Self-directed brokerage platforms handle document exchange across millions of client relationships. KYC workflows, account transfers, tax form delivery, and disclosure acknowledgements all require a traceable, auditable record of what was shared and when. Email-based and secure email-based approaches create compliance gaps that regulators and audit teams identify as risk.
SideDrawer deploys as a digital vault layer within your online banking environment — authenticated through your existing client identity infrastructure (OIDC/SAML), branded as your product, and integrated with your ECM for regulatory archival. Clients receive documents in a structured vault, not an email attachment. Every access event is logged.
Smart forms handle transfer workflows end-to-end: OCR pre-scan, pre-populated form fields, conditional logic for form selection (registered vs. non-registered accounts), e-signature ceremony, and direct routing to your fulfillment and ECM systems. The platform supports both structured and ad hoc document requests without separate infrastructure.
Talk to Our Enterprise TeamKey Capabilities
- Smart forms with conditional logic — account transfer, KYC, and disclosure workflows digitized end-to-end
- OCR pre-scan with data extraction to pre-populate form fields and reduce not-in-good-order errors
- E-signature integration (OneSpan or DocuSign) — ceremony embedded in the vault workflow
- Copy-and-purge ECM pattern — documents cached in vault for 30 days, then ECM reference retained
- White-label client portal — operates under your domain with no third-party branding
- Webhook-based fulfillment status tracking — real-time updates to your downstream systems
Business & Commercial Banking
KYC and onboarding workflows that eliminate process bottlenecks.
Commercial relationship managers collect KYC, KYB, financial statements, and supporting documentation through a combination of email requests and manual follow-up. There is no structured status view across the portfolio, no automatic routing to compliance review, and no audit trail that connects each document to the request that generated it.
SideDrawer creates a dedicated vault per business client — launched from your Salesforce or CRM record, pre-authenticated through your identity infrastructure, and structured with eligibility-gated document collection. Relationship managers initiate a request, the business client receives a structured checklist (not an email), and the relationship manager sees real-time completion status on a dashboard across all active prospects.
Back-office approval and reject workflows route submitted documents to compliance reviewers with inline commenting and @-mention communication — all within the platform, all captured in the audit log. Conditional smart forms can handle loan document collection with dynamic field logic based on entity type and deal structure, involving credit teams, sales teams, compliance and operational teams.

Capital Markets
Information barriers, deal rooms, and agreement lifecycle management at institutional scale.
Capital markets operations require strict information barrier enforcement between teams with access to material non-public information. Deal rooms need document version control, counterparty access management, and a defensible audit record. Agreement lifecycle — from ISDA master agreements to credit support annexes — involves multi-document workflows with clause-level tracking that email-based exchange cannot support.
SideDrawer’s dedicated tenant architecture enforces information barriers structurally, not just contractually. Each deal room, LOB environment, and counterparty relationship operates within an isolated container with RBAC controls that travel with documents through every stage of the lifecycle. There is no data co-mingling across environments — this is an architectural guarantee, not a policy commitment.
Semantic search across the agreement portfolio enables natural language queries — identifying specific clause language, locating termination events, and surfacing counterparty-specific terms across thousands of documents.
Access is RBAC-enforced: a user can only search documents within their permitted access scope.

Insurance
Policy e-delivery, beneficiary coordination, and compliance-ready document exchange.
Insurance enterprises exchange sensitive documents across advisor networks, policyholders, group plan members, beneficiaries, and back-office compliance teams. Each channel has different authentication requirements, different retention obligations, and different audit standards. Email-based delivery satisfies none of them consistently.
SideDrawer deploys as an operational infrastructure layer across your business lines — Wealth, Individual Insurance, and Group Benefits can each operate as isolated tenants within a single enterprise deployment, with shared authentication infrastructure (e.g. Okta, Azure Entra) and separate RBAC and document routing per line of business.
System-generated document requests for group plan members feed directly back into automated workflows — a plan member receives a structured request, uploads supporting documents, and the response triggers your back-office process without a manual intake step. Every action is logged. Every document is auditable.
100% API coverage means any workflow can complement an existing enterprise wide orchestration system to support the last-mile of advisor / client engagement.

Deployment Model
Three deployment tiers.
One platform.
Every tier is fully dedicated per enterprise — no client data coexists with any other enterprise’s data. The choice is how much of the infrastructure sits in your environment versus SideDrawer-managed.
SaaS
Managed by SideDrawerStorage and authentication within a SideDrawer-managed environment. Release schedule driven by SideDrawer at 4–6 week intervals.
- AWS and Azure storage within SideDrawer’s tenant
- Typical shared authentication engine
- SOC 2 Type II
- US or Canadian data residency based on client's country of residence
- Full API access — 650+ endpoints
- Standard RPO and RTO
Enterprise SaaS
Best suited for large firms and enterprises with a single LOB focusDedicated storage within your cloud tenant (Azure Blob or SharePoint/OneDrive). Authentication and platform managed by SideDrawer. PII and document data reside exclusively in your environment — SideDrawer cannot access your stored files. Provides greater auth control and embedding options without full PaaS commitment.
- Documents and PII stored in a segregated AWS, Azure, or 3rd party environment
- Client-controlled storage keys
- Enhanced SSO and embedding configuration
- SOC 2 Type II + SOC 1 certified
- Data residency needs determined by client
- RPO and RTO to meet your expectations
Enterprise PaaS
Best suited for enterprises that need full data control and scale across multiple business linesEntirely dedicated environment deployed within your cloud tenant (Azure or multi-cloud). Your infrastructure team controls the deployment. PII, documents, metadata, and MongoDB all reside in your environment. SideDrawer manages platform updates. Client dictates the release schedule. Deployed at multiple Tier-1 Canadian banks.
- Full environment in your AWS, Azure, GCP or other tenant
- Client-held encryption keys
- Client-controlled release schedule
- Multi-cloud support
- RPO and RTO to meet your expectations
Platform Capabilities
Built for regulated enterprise environments.
Every capability is available via API. Every configuration is auditable. Every deployment is isolated.
Dedicated Tenant Isolation
Each enterprise operates in a fully isolated container. Data co-mingling is architecturally prevented — not just contractually restricted. Significant configuration capabilities across the platform.
Full Audit Trail
100% of platform activity is logged: uploads, downloads, form submissions, e-sign ceremonies, collaborator additions, and access events. All events are available via API, webhook, and compliance reporting export.
SOC 2 Type II + SOC 1
Both certifications maintained and available to enterprise clients at any time.
Enterprise SSO / MFA
OIDC and SAML federation with any identity provider — Azure Entra, Okta, and enterprise Active Directory. Configurable MFA policies per deployment.
Programmable RBAC
Role-based access control fully configurable via API. Permissions travel with documents into AI/semantic search — users can only search what they’re permitted to access.
ECM Integration
Native integrations with ECMs like IBM FileNet and OpenText to support workflows retrieving or pushing to book of records.
White-Label Deployment
Three tiers of white-labeling: branded subdomain, custom domain, and fully unbranded enterprise deployment (example: operating at authentication.yourbank.com with no SideDrawer references).
Workflow Automation
Smart forms with conditional logic, OCR pre-scan and field pre-population, e-signature embedding, back-office approval and reject workflows, and webhook-based fulfillment routing. Orchestration drives multi-step form sequences with embedded business logic.
From Practitioners
What operational entrenchment looks like in practice.
“Compliance is onerous and will increase over time, so we need to offer more and we need to collect more data. It needs to be done securely and efficiently. SideDrawer does that for us.”Christopher Dewdney — Dewdney & Co.
“It’s great if we are encrypting and taking steps to be cybersecure, but if our clients aren’t secure when interacting with us, that’s a huge gap in our offering. This is why the two-way secure exchange through SideDrawer was essential to fill this gap.”John Baynham — Retirement Income Group

Enterprise Evaluation
The questions your procurement team will ask. Answered.
These are the most consistent questions raised across enterprise evaluations at regulated financial institutions. We’ve addressed each one here so your team doesn’t discover the answers in a third meeting.
Where does our data live? Is it shared with other customers?
No. SideDrawer deploys dedicated environments per enterprise client. The platform is multi-cloud and we can work in AWS, Azure, GCP, or any other capable enviroment. Your data — documents, PII, metadata — never coexists with any other enterprise’s data. In Enterprise PaaS, the environment can sit entirely within your cloud tenant. In Enterprise SaaS+, your documents reside in a dedicated storage with client-held keys. This is architectural, and goes beyond a contractual commitment.
We require SSO and MFA for all enterprise applications. Do you support this?
Yes. SideDrawer supports OIDC and SAML federation with any enterprise identity provider — Azure Entra (active deployments at multiple Tier-1 banks), Okta, and Active Directory groups. Configurable MFA policies are set per enterprise deployment. In Enterprise deployments, the authentication engine is fully dedicated per client — not shared. Multiple identity providers can be connected to a single deployment to support separate internal and external user populations.
We run everything through Salesforce. Does this integrate with our CRM?
Yes. SideDrawer’s Salesforce integration includes a Lightning Web Component managed package installed in your Salesforce org. The vault surfaces within the CRM client record. Form responses populate Salesforce fields bidirectionally; Salesforce data pre-populates outbound smart forms. Document activity webhooks trigger Salesforce notifications. This is an active, production deployment pattern — not an API integration to be built from scratch.
We have an existing ECM — or we're migrating to a new one. Where does SideDrawer fit?
SideDrawer is not an ECM replacement — it's the client-facing operational layer that sits in front of your book of records. Your ECM (FileNet, OpenText, or your target platform) handles archival and compliance storage. SideDrawer handles active document collection, two-way client exchange, e-signatures, workflows and structured intake. The two systems run in parallel by design.
