Only Trusted Networks Get In
Restrict sign-in and system access to approved IP ranges, so your documents are reachable only from your offices, data centre, or VPN, with safeguards that make sure you never lock yourself out.
For many regulated organisations, controlling who can log in is not enough. You also need to control from where. Dockria's Network Access Control lets you restrict sign-in and system access to approved networks, so even valid credentials cannot be used from an unexpected location.
Rules apply across your entire workspace. You define the approved IP ranges and individual addresses that are permitted (your offices, your data centre, your corporate VPN) and a convenient 'use my current address' option makes setup straightforward. When no rules are configured, access remains open, so you opt in deliberately.
Enforcement happens at every sensitive point: each sign-in, each session renewal, and every authenticated integration request is checked against your rules. Attempts from outside the approved networks are blocked and recorded in the audit log and security alerts, giving you immediate visibility of anything unexpected. Changes to your rules take effect across all servers within seconds.
Crucially, the design protects you from locking yourself out. The Network Access management screen is always reachable, even from an address that is not on the allow-list, so a mistaken rule can always be repaired. A blocked request never ends your session. Returning to an approved network simply works again, with no disruption.
Key Benefits
Approved Networks Only
Restrict access to the IP ranges and addresses you trust (your offices, data centre, or VPN) even for valid credentials.
Workspace-Wide Enforcement
Rules apply to every user and are checked at sign-in, session renewal, and every integration request.
Logged Block Attempts
Access attempts from outside approved networks are blocked and recorded in the audit log and security alerts.
Lockout Safeguards
The management screen stays reachable from any address, so a mistaken rule can always be corrected without disruption.
Fast Propagation
Changes to your rules take effect across all servers within seconds, so adjustments are immediate.
Covers Integrations Too
Protection extends to authenticated integration access, not just human sign-ins, closing a common security gap.
Industry Use Cases
Banks confine access to corporate networks and VPNs, ensuring sensitive financial documents are never reachable from public connections.
Agencies restrict access to government networks, meeting national security requirements for handling official information.
Firms limit access to office and VPN addresses, protecting privileged client material from exposure off-network.
Hospitals keep patient records reachable only from approved clinical networks, reinforcing data-protection obligations.
