Secure Digitalization of Sensitive Documents with Role-Based Access Control for MS Branch , Integrated HQ of MoD (Army)


A defence-grade solution was deployed for secure digitization and management of highly classified documents within the MS Branch. The implementation operates entirely in an isolated environment, ensuring strict confidentiality, security, and governance.

The Military Secretary’s Branch (MS Branch), Integrated HQ of MoD (Army), issued a tender for the secure digitization and digital management of highly sensitive and classified documents. The project covers end-to-end scanning, indexing, classification, cataloguing, secure storage, and lifecycle management of a very large document volume.

The solution was developed and deployed entirely within the MS Branch’s secure environment, isolated from internet and mobile access, ensuring strict adherence to defence confidentiality and information security protocols. The implementation is built on enterprise-grade Newgen platforms, fully hosted on MS Branch infrastructure, and aligned with defence-grade security and governance requirements.

The scope included deployment of high-speed scanners, secure servers, enterprise storage, and workstations, along with a customized Newgen-based DMS architecture hosted within MS Branch infrastructure.
