Can MembersDesk be customised to match our workflows?

Absolutely. MembersDesk has an out-of-the-box agile structure that adapts naturally to the way your organisation operates. The platform can mirror your committees, working groups, governance processes, access rights, and content types – ensuring that every user sees exactly what matters to them.

Beyond the built-in flexibility, we can also develop tailor-made customisations and extra tools on request: specialised modules, automation workflows, integrations or entirely custom components. This makes MembersDesk a platform that can fit perfectly into your internal processes today, and evolve with you tomorrow..

How secure is MembersDesk?

MembersDesk is built with security and privacy at its core. All documents and uploaded content are protected through a controlled, unobtrusive permission system that ensures users can only access what they are authorised to see – nothing more. The platform follows a strict privacy-by-design approach and is fully aligned with GDPR to safeguard both organisational data and member privacy.

All data is hosted in Europe offering an adequate level of data protection under GDPR. Our hosting partner operates top-tier, ISO-certified infrastructure (including ISO 27001 for information security), ensuring your data remains safe, compliant, and never transferred to non-adequate jurisdictions.

If you have any questions about security, privacy or hosting, feel free to contact us.

Can you migrate our content from other extranet?

Absolutely. We assist with the migration of your users, documents, folders, metadata and structure upon request.

The standard setup fee includes the initial configuration, but our team can also support full data transfers or creation of archive from older or outdated platforms.

Tell us what you use today – we’ll assess your migration for free.

How does pricing work?

Pricing is simple and transparent:

  • a setup fee that covers installation, branding, and structural customisation to match your workflow
  • optional data migration from your existing platform
  • an annual per-user licence, with attractive volume discounts

This model keeps costs predictable, scales with the size of your organisation, and is typically significantly more affordable than other extranet solutions.
