It's easy to use. It's all there. We're not near using the full potential of Trisk and it's already transforming how we do things. We're able to reduce the burden (on school staff), allow them the ability to get out their information to all the necessary parties such as first responders, fire, police, etc. and we're able to do it quickly.

Questions and Answers
What is permission-based governance?

Permission-based governance is a security framework that allows organizations to control who can access, edit, or approve specific data, documents, and workflows based on assigned roles and permissions.

Why is permission-based access important for businesses?
Permission-based access ensures only authorized users can view, edit, or approve sensitive business information. It reduces security risks, prevents data breaches, and ensures compliance with industry regulations like SOC 2, GDPR, and FINRA. By implementing role-based access, businesses can minimize human error, prevent accidental oversharing, and maintain clear audit trails—all while ensuring employees have the information they need to work efficiently.
How does Trisk ensure data security with role-based access?
Trisk enforces enterprise-grade role-based access, ensuring only authorized users can view, edit, or approve documents and tasks. Every action is tracked, logged, and compliant with SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and FINRA standards.
Can I customize access levels for different users?
Yes. Trisk allows granular control over user permissions, enabling you to define Assignee, Read, Write, or Submit access for each task, document, or workflow—ensuring only the right people handle critical information.
How does Trisk handle external users and guest access?
Trisk lets you securely share documents and tasks with Guest Users. (such as clients, auditors, or vendors). You control what they can see and do, ensuring data stays protected.
Can I automate assignments in Trisk?
Yes! Trisk supports automated assignments based on workflow triggers, IF/THEN Logic, and predefined access rules—eliminating manual access management and reducing human error.
How to control data access across multiple projects?
Managing access across multiple projects requires granular control over roles and permissions to ensure team members only access the data relevant to their work. Best practices include:
  • Project-Specific Roles: Assign team members to specific projects/roles/departments rather than giving company-wide access.
  • Task-Level Permissions: Define who can view, edit, or approve documents within each project.
  • IF/THEN Logic: Automate role assignments based on project status or workflow triggers.
  • Time-Limited Access: Grant temporary permissions for contractors or external stakeholders.
  • Real-Time Auditing: Maintain visibility into who accessed what and when to track changes and approvals.
By implementing structured permission controls, businesses can prevent data leaks, unauthorized modifications, and workflow inefficiencies across multiple projects.
What are the best practices for managing external user access in professional services?
Professional services firms often work with clients, vendors, and external consultants, requiring secure yet flexible access controls. Best practices include:
  • Guest User Access: Provide limited, document-specific, or task-specific access without exposing unrelated company data.
  • Role-Based Permissions: Define access levels based on the external user’s function (e.g., consultant, client, auditor).
  • Audit Logs & Tracking: Monitor and log all actions taken by external users to ensure compliance.
  • Secure Sharing Methods: Use encrypted document storage and e-signatures built into your software to securely exchange information instead of relying on email attachments.
Implementing these best practices keeps client and company data secure while enabling seamless collaboration with external partners.
