The Nasdaq Boardvantage architecture segregates content within teamspaces, which serve as focal points for initiatives or processes. As these teamspaces are ring-fenced by permission control, business users have access only to content for which they are explicitly authorised by administrators, thereby helping to reduce the risk of sharing outside the team.

Users expect convenient access to materials, whether online or offline. However, there is a tension between mobility and security, especially concerning downloaded materials. To address this, Nasdaq Boardvantage employs an encrypted folder, ensuring content remains under the administrator's control. Even if a business user neglects to delete downloaded Documents, an administrator can remotely purge content and notes.

Nasdaq Boardvantage employs an enterprise sync architecture that separates the upload function from the sharing function. Files can only be shared once permissions have been established. However, once set up, updates are automatically synchronised. This method offers the common advantage of access to last-minute changes while mitigating the risk of inadvertent sharing with unauthorised users, a persistent risk in desktop sync.
