Websites

The Websites section lets you add trusted websites that can open protected files. When a listed website interacts with encrypted files, PROTECT automatically decrypts the files during upload, so the website can process them and encrypts any file that is downloaded from the website for continued protection.

Only websites added to this list are allowed to securely open or handle encrypted files.

Add a Website

1. Go to PROTECT > Websites.
2. Click +New Website.

   
3. In URL, enter the website address that can interact with protected files. Example: https://protect.mycompany.com
4. In Identifiers (Optional), click + to add an identifier. Identifiers help PROTECT detect specific elements or sections of the website where file uploads or downloads occur. This ensures decryption and encryption occur only on authorised upload/download components, not the whole page. Each identifier includes:

   1. DOM Element Selector: Enter the CSS selector for the webpage element that PROTECT should identify or match. This tells PROTECT which element on the page is linked to file operations. Examples: #uploadBtn , .input-field , div.file-section , button[data-action="upload"]
   2. Search Value: Enter a value that identifies your organisation in the selected element (for example, part of the signed-in email address or company name). PROTECT will only decrypt files when this value is found, so decryption happens only for accounts that belong to your company. Examples: guardware.com.au , @guardware.com.au , GuardWare Australia
5. In Extensions that are decrypted, choose how PROTECT handles file extensions when interacting with the website:

   1. All: All encrypted files uploaded or downloaded by this website will be decrypted/encrypted automatically.
   2. All but these extensions: All files except the listed extensions will be decrypted.
   3. Only these extensions: Only files with the specified extensions will be decrypted for this website. Examples: .csv, .xml Use the + button to add multiple extensions.
6. Click Save. The website will appear in the Website List, where you can edit or remove it later.

For example, with the configuration shown in the image, files will only decrypt during upload when the user is signed into SharePoint with a GuardWare Australia account. If the user is logged in with any other account, files remain encrypted.
