6B works with UK government departments, defence organisations, intelligence partners, and security-cleared technology providers to design, develop, and support integrations that operate within SECRET-level security boundaries. Whether you need to automate secure data ingestion, enable cross-domain workflows, deliver classified analytics, or support distributed secure collaboration, our integrations ensure compliance, resilience, and long-term sustainability.
Our mission is to help national-security and defence organisations modernise secure information exchange by enabling controlled, standards-based data movement across systems operating within SECRET environments.
Understanding the SECRET Secure Data Platform Service
The SECRET Secure Data Platform Service is a UK government–approved environment designed for storing, processing, and exchanging classified information up to SECRET level. It provides secure hosting, encrypted data exchange, cross-domain access controls, identity and authentication services, and tightly governed audit capabilities.
The platform supports structured and unstructured data, metadata-driven workflows, analytical pipelines, secure API integration, and automated data transfers. Access is restricted to accredited systems, authorised users, and cleared organisations. All activity is monitored and logged in compliance with security and governance policies for classified systems.
SECRET Secure Data Platform Service integrations are used in operational planning, intelligence sharing, defence logistics, national security analysis, secure communications, and cross-department collaboration. The platform ensures consistent enforcement of UK government security classifications across the entire data journey.
Our SECRET Secure Data Platform Service Integration Process
We begin with a detailed discovery phase to understand your classified data workflows — such as secure ingestion, automated processing pipelines, metadata enrichment, cross-domain transfers, or analytics integration. We determine the security model, governance rules, accreditation boundaries, and technical constraints relevant to your SECRET environment.
Our architects design a secure integration architecture using encrypted APIs, secure message routing, accredited data-handling patterns, identity federation controls, and containerised or modular components suitable for SECRET-classified deployment. We consider operational sensitivity, auditability, latency requirements, cross-domain gateways, resilience, and zero-trust models.
6B accelerates delivery using reusable, security-reviewed integration components such as encryption modules, secure file-handling pipelines, classified-compliant ETL workflows, audit frameworks, and hardened API connectors. All integrations undergo rigorous testing within permitted classified or simulated environments to validate compliance, performance, and operational reliability.
During deployment, we work with security-cleared stakeholders, accreditation teams, and operational units to ensure that configuration, access provisioning, protective monitoring, and go-live phases meet all security controls. Post-deployment, 6B provides long-term support, monitoring, updates, and optimisation to maintain alignment with evolving security standards and platform enhancements.
Benefits of SECRET Secure Data Platform Service Integration
Integrating with the SECRET Secure Data Platform Service enhances the security, consistency, and efficiency of classified information workflows. Automated ingestion and controlled data pipelines reduce manual handling and minimise the risk of misclassification or data leakage.
Real-time or scheduled data exchange supports faster operational planning, improved intelligence sharing, more effective multi-agency coordination, and increased situational awareness. End-to-end auditability ensures transparency, compliance, and accountability across classified workflows.
For technology providers, integration with SECRET environments strengthens the credibility and operational readiness of your solution, enabling deployment across government and defence organisations with classified requirements.

SECRET Secure Data Platform Service Integration FAQs
What systems can be integrated with the SECRET Secure Data Platform Service?
What systems can be integrated with the SECRET Secure Data Platform Service?
Eligible systems include intelligence platforms, command-and-control systems, analytical tools, case management systems, operational planning tools, secure data warehouses, and other accredited applications operating within SECRET-classified environments.
Do integrations with the SECRET Secure Data Platform require security clearances?
Do integrations with the SECRET Secure Data Platform require security clearances?
Yes. Work within or involving SECRET-level environments typically requires personnel with appropriate UK security clearances (SC or DV). 6B can provide cleared staff where required to support design, development, testing, and deployment.
Is it possible to automate data ingestion and processing within SECRET environments?
Is it possible to automate data ingestion and processing within SECRET environments?
Yes. SECRET Secure Data Platform Service supports automated ingestion, ETL workflows, structured pipelines, and API-driven processes, provided they adhere to classification policies and approved technical controls.
How secure is the data transfer process?
How secure is the data transfer process?
Data exchange uses encrypted channels, access-controlled APIs, hardened infrastructure, authentication rules, and full audit logging. All transfers comply with UK government protective monitoring and classification requirements.
Do we need to modify our existing systems before integrating with the SECRET platform?
Do we need to modify our existing systems before integrating with the SECRET platform?
Not always. Many integrations can be delivered using secure middleware, containerised services, or accredited integration components that minimise changes to existing systems. Discovery determines the most appropriate and compliant approach.
What data formats are supported in SECRET Secure Data Platform integrations?
What data formats are supported in SECRET Secure Data Platform integrations?
Structured and unstructured formats such as JSON, XML, CSV, PDF, DOCX, media files, and classified data bundles can be supported, depending on the data-handling policies and approved tooling within your SECRET environment.
How does 6B test integrations in a SECRET environment?
How does 6B test integrations in a SECRET environment?
Testing is conducted within accredited classified environments or approved simulation environments. We validate encryption, authentication, routing, processing accuracy, error handling, and audit behaviour in line with SECRET-level controls.
Does 6B provide long-term support for SECRET platform integrations?
Does 6B provide long-term support for SECRET platform integrations?
Yes. We provide accredited operational support, monitoring, optimisation, security updates, and ongoing assurance to ensure your integration remains compliant, resilient, and aligned with evolving government security requirements.

Readiness checklist for SECRET Secure Data Platform Service Integration
- Define the classified workflows your integration must support (e.g. secure ingestion, automated ETL, cross-domain data exchange, analytical outputs).
- Confirm your organisation’s accreditation requirements, lawful basis for processing classified data, and any need for SC/DV-cleared personnel.
- Validate compliance with required security frameworks, including government classification policy and technical controls for SECRET environments.
- Identify the APIs, routing mechanisms, data formats, and access models needed for your integration scenario.
- Prepare a system map showing how classified data will be stored, processed, transferred, and audited within the integration.
- Determine whether your integration requires real-time feeds, scheduled updates, batch processes, or controlled release via cross-domain solutions.
