Abstract
A secure collaboration mechanism between two organizations may be created based on a set of security system definitions provided by a receiving organization to a providing organization. The providing organization may create a shared portal that has a federated access between both organizations and has access and other security functions. The data collection process may be automated using digitally signed forms or other documents to analyze the security practices of the receiving organization and create a shared portal that has increased or decreased security provisions compared to the providing organization's standard procedures. The collaboration mechanism may be implemented in a bilateral arrangement, a hub and spoke arrangement, and a multilateral arrangement.
