State of Digital Government review

Collaboration designed for high-assurance environments

Used where policy, architecture or operational risk constrain standard platforms.

Operate in restricted or degraded networks, including air-gapped scenarios.

Support cross-agency and coalition operations without collapsing boundaries.

Enforce policy-driven access by programme, partner or sensitivity.

Enable out-of-band and incident communications when primary systems fail.

Enabling secure collaboration across UK sectors

From local councils to national operations, Rocket.Chat keeps conversations secure, data under UK control,
and critical teams connected—across networks and organisations.

Cabinet-wide policy rollouts

Coordinate decisions, briefings and approvals across departments with controlled access, auditability and policy-based retention.

Command-to-field coordination

Connect MOD command, deployed units and partners using governed channels and federation, even in restricted or air-gapped environments.

Incident response

Stand up rapid, auditable operational rooms for law enforcement and public safety teams to share situational awareness across agencies.

The foundation of secure, trusted CWEs

Rocket.Chat is engineered for environments where collaboration must be resilient, controlled and interoperable.

Policy-driven access

Enforce RBAC and ABAC with identity integration and separation of duties, controlling access by role, programme or sensitivity.

Audit & traceability

Maintain auditable records across messages, files and admin actions to support oversight, assurance and investigation.

Governed federation

Share information across organisations using explicit policies that define what can be shared and under which conditions.

Operational extensibility

Integrate mission systems using APIs and apps, extending collaboration without disrupting existing platforms.

Built-in governance

Apply retention, moderation, export controls and operational holds aligned to departmental policy and handling rules.

Resilient architecture

Deploy multi-instance or microservices architectures for availability in restricted, degraded or high-demand environments.

Enabling secure law enforcement collaboration with Rocket.Chat

A UK central government department responsible for national security, borders and law enforcement adopted Rocket.Chat on AWS to support teams handling highly sensitive data, including information classified as OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE.

This enabled secure messaging and link sharing around core operational systems, maintained data sovereignty, and provided a policy-aligned alternative for high-assurance collaboration where standard platforms could not be used.
