Government operations increasingly span agencies, partners, and allies — but your communications tools weren’t designed for regulated, multi-organization environments?
You need to work with external teams, but can’t put them in your system
Guest accounts feel risky and hard to manage
Email slows down decision-making and creates audit gaps
Compliance teams lack visibility and confidence

Many federation solutions leave governance to individual deployments or require heavy custom infrastructure. Rocket.Chat delivers governed collaboration between independent Rocket.Chat workspaces — without that burden.

Accelerate coordination and decision-making between independent teams, agencies, and partners.
Coalition partners or allied nations coordinate operations while each organization or country retains full control of its infrastructure, identities, and security policies.
Multiple agencies work on a shared initiative or task force, but each must keep its own systems, identities, and data residency intact.
Independent organizations coordinate during incidents or crises where speed, trust, auditability, and clear accountability are critical.
Defense teams collaborate with contractors or allies on mission planning, logistics, or
intelligence — without onboarding them into a single platform or central environment.

An external collaboration model your security and compliance teams can approve.
Work together with full sovereignty: Each organization keeps ownership of its systems, identities, and policies.
Stay compliant and auditable: All collaboration remains inside governed environments with full traceability.
Reduce security and operational risk: Eliminate shadow IT, guest sprawl, and unclear ownership models.
Federation supports the way teams actually work:
Distributed channels: Collaborate in channels that span organizations while each side remains in its own environment.
Secure messaging and file sharing: Exchange messages and files while data stays inside each organization’s environment.
Identity clarity: Domain-qualified identities clearly show who belongs to which organization in every conversation.
Controlled access: Invite external users through governed workflows and restrict federation to approved organizations.

Rocket.Chat Federation supports optional interoperability with Matrix-compatible platforms, allowing you to collaborate with external organizations while keeping your own platform, policies, and governance model fully intact.
Rocket.Chat is used by the NATO CCDCOE to support secure, cross-border collaboration between independent organizations while respecting strict security standards and organizational autonomy.
