Creating a Secret
Safe Share allows both Prowise personnel and customers to securely share sensitive information. The process differs slightly based on the user type.
-
Log in to Safe Share: https://safe-share.prowise.com/.
-
Go to 'Share Text' or 'Share Files'.
-
Enter the secret:
-
For text: Type up to 1024 characters.
-
For files: Upload up to 10 files (with a total maximum size limit, based on type).
-
-
Select a recipient group:
-
Choose one of the available Prowise groups (e.g., Service, GO Engineers, Inside Sales).

-
Set the secret's lifetime:
-
Options: 5 min, 15 min (default), 30 min, 1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days.

Generate the link by clicking 'Opslaan & link genereren' (Save & generate link).

Secret Lifetime & Expiration
-
By default, secrets expire after 15 minutes.
-
Choose the shortest practical expiration time to minimize exposure.
-
Once expired or accessed, the secret is permanently deleted.
Deleting a Secret Before Use
-
If a sender wants to revoke access before the recipient opens it:
-
Navigate to the confirmation page after generating the link.
-
Click 'Delete' to remove the secret immediately.

Security Best Practices
-
Do not share secrets via email – only send the Safe Share link.
-
Use the shortest possible expiration time.
-
Verify recipient details before sharing sensitive information.
-
Once opened, the secret is gone – ensure recipients save it before refreshing or closing the page.
