SecureFile Persistent protection for sensitive files
Protection that travels with the file.
Files get copied, emailed, synced and saved to USB drives. SecureFile encrypts the sensitive data inside them and carries the access policy along, so control doesn't end when the file leaves the folder.

The problem
Folder permissions stop at the folder.
Sensitive data lives in contracts, spreadsheets, PDFs and exports, and those files don't stay put. SecureFile protects the information inside the file, not only the place it started.
| When a file is... | Folder permissions alone | With SecureFile |
|---|---|---|
| Copied to a desktop | Control is lost with the copy | Still encrypted, policy still applies |
| Emailed to a contractor | Anyone with the attachment can open it | Opens only for authorized identities |
| Saved to a USB drive | Readable on any machine | Unreadable without authorization |
| Uploaded to personal cloud | Outside IT's visibility | Access tracked and auditable |
| Stolen in a ransomware attack | Sensitive contents exposed | Exfiltrated files stay encrypted |
