The multi user possibilities imo depend on you workflow. 

eg:  

 - If there is one editor and the "multi users" are just consumers, imo it 
would be easy to create an environment, that works for you.

 - If there are several editors, that need to be able to manipulate the 
same TW at the same time, it's not possible atm. 


The security requirements imo depend on, if you consider a browser a secure 
environment for your information. 

 - TiddlyWiki doesn't need a server, to manipulate its data. 
   - It can save itself back to the harddisk. 
   - Depending on your browser, the user experience varies. eg: TiddlyFox 
allows TW to directly overwrite itself. Other browsers create a new file 
with every save action .. 

 - If you use eg: nginx or apache it would be possible to serve a file TW 
to different (read only) users.
   - This setup should be relatively simple, to get from your IT. 

 - TiddlyWiki allows you to encrypt the tiddler store. So you can safely 
send it per mail. If you open the TW without knowing the encryption 
password, you just get a fully functional but empty TW. 
 - Depending on your security policies (your auditor), this may or may not 
be an option. 

 - As I wrote in the first post. The TW server is mainly for testing 
purpose, so lacks user management, authorisation and authentication. 

There also is TiddlyDesktop application, which implements a browser like 
environment to manage file based TiddlyWikis. This may be an option too. 

If you have more questions. Just ask. 

have fun!
