BluejaySecureCollaboration

Securing collaboration in Defence

In an age where the threat from hostile actors has never been greater, keeping data safe is non-negotiable.

That's why Sopra Steria is bringing BluejaySecureCollaboration (Bluejay) to market.

Bluejay is a secure collaborative working environment at SECRET that delivers tools to share classified information between government, industry and partners internationally with integrity and assurance.

It is the only collaborative working environment of its type to be assured by Defence Digital, Ministry of Defence against the latest cyber security threat landscape. As the only platform of its kind assured to Defence’s Secure By Design (SbD) framework against the latest cyber security threat landscape, Bluejay is developed to ensure security is embedded throughout the system lifecycle.

Making a difference

Using cutting-edge security, Bluejay is set to be a real game-changer for the defence industry. For the first time, it’ll enable people working across the industry – and across borders – to collaborate and communicate securely from anywhere in the world.

Bluejay will help customers achieve significant time and cost savings, without compromising on security. Importantly, it provides better ways of working for our partners and customers, while reducing environmental footprint by minimising the need to travel.

Bluejay also showcases the power of collaboration. Our partnerships with SMEs in this project have brought innovative technology and ideas to the table, and we’re proud of the end result: a best-in-class platform.
