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.

Built for how you work

Security that doesn't slow collaboration down.

  1. Persistent protection

    Sensitive data in files stays encrypted, so protection goes wherever the file goes.

  2. Fine-grained access control

    Identity-based access means each user sees only what they're authorized to see.

  3. Operational simplicity

    Policies apply automatically in the tools people already use, so teams keep working the way they do today.
