While FTAPI is primarily a platform for secure data exchange — with products like SecuMails, SecuRooms, SecuForms, and SecuFlows — SecureCloud offers a complete ecosystem for secure collaboration. Your data belongs to you — and we guarantee that through certifications such as ISO 27001 (TÜV Rheinland), BSI C5, Trusted Cloud, GDPR (Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO)) and CIS Compliance.

SecureCloud is an FTAPI alternative for German companies that need persistent cloud storage rather than transfer-only. FTAPI is primarily a platform for secure data exchange; SecuRooms provide data rooms but FTAPI is explicitly not a persistent cloud-storage solution. SecureCloud provides full persistent cloud storage with folder structures, file versioning and a desktop sync client. Data remains permanently available rather than expiring after a transfer period. Granular permission management separates access by function, project and external party. All data is encrypted with AES-256 and stored exclusively in German data centers operated by noris network AG. SecureCloud is GDPR-compliant, BSI C5 attested (the highest German information security attestation) and annually ISO 27001 certified by TÜV.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is included in SecureCloud's Business tier at €5.00 per user per month — without surcharge. FTAPI, by contrast, charges 2FA via app, SMS or email as a paid add-on, which raises the effective cost compared to the list price. Single sign-on (SSO) and a personal account manager are also included with SecureCloud. All security functions are available without additional license tiers. All data is encrypted with AES-256 and stored in German data centers. SecureCloud is GDPR-compliant, BSI C5 attested, ISO 27001 certified, Trusted Cloud certified (an initiative of the BMWK) and CIS-compliant.
SecureCloud offers an integrated electronic signature function via SecureSign that supports advanced (AES) and qualified electronic signatures (QES) under the eIDAS Regulation (EU) No 910/2014. FTAPI, in comparison, contains no electronic signature function; signed contracts must be handled via a separate tool. The SecureSign QES meets §126a German Civil Code (BGB) and is legally valid EU-wide. Click-2-Sign, Type-2-Sign, Draw-2-Sign, biometric signatures, batch processing and the MS Office plugin are part of the feature set. External recipients authenticate via multi-factor authentication (MFA); a SecureCloud account on the recipient side is not required. All documents are encrypted with AES-256 and stored in German data centers.
SecureCloud allows editing of Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents directly in the browser via the SecureWork module. FTAPI, by contrast, requires the download-edit-reupload workflow: files must first be downloaded locally, edited in a separate application and then uploaded again. SecureWork enables parallel real-time editing by multiple employees; a local Microsoft Office license is not required. Version snapshots record every editing state for audit-readiness. External partners can collaborate on documents without a SecureCloud account. All data is encrypted with AES-256 and stored exclusively in German data centers. SecureCloud is GDPR-compliant, BSI C5 attested and ISO 27001 certified.
SecureCloud prices are transparently visible online: Business tier from €5.00 per user per month (from 2 users), Advanced tier from €8.00 per user per month (from 10 users), Enterprise on request. FTAPI publishes no prices and communicates exclusively enterprise-only pricing after individual inquiry, which complicates comparisons before contact. With SecureCloud, all modules (SecureShare, SecureWork, SecureSign) as well as 2FA, SSO and a personal account manager are included in the standard tier — no hidden add-on fees. Contracts are cancellable monthly; 14 days free trial without a credit card. All data is encrypted with AES-256 and stored in German data centers.
SecureCloud is suitable as a replacement for FTAPI in companies that need long-term contract storage, personnel files and project data rooms because the platform is persistent cloud storage, not — as FTAPI — limited to data-transfer use cases. Contracts, personnel files, project documentation and sales records are stored structured and versioned; snapshots extend across several years for audit-ready document management. Granular permission management separates access by department, project and external party. Audit logs record every access for audit-readiness. All data is encrypted with AES-256 and stored in German data centers operated by noris network AG. SecureCloud is GDPR-compliant, BSI C5 attested and annually ISO 27001 certified by TÜV.
FTAPI users migrate to SecureCloud by starting a 14-day free trial without a credit card and triggering data export from FTAPI in parallel. SecureCloud offers both FTAPI-equivalent secure transfer workflows (via SecureLinks with time-limited access and watermarks) and persistent cloud-storage functions that FTAPI does not cover. After the switch, SecureShare, SecureWork (Office editing) and SecureSign (eIDAS QES) are included — without add-on fees. Contracts are cancellable monthly. SecureCloud GmbH is a German company without a US parent; all data is stored encrypted with AES-256 in German data centers operated by noris network AG. SecureCloud is BSI C5 attested and ISO 27001 certified.
Companies consolidate secure data exchange, Office collaboration, contract management and electronic signing in a single platform with SecureCloud. While FTAPI focuses on data transfer and therefore requires additional tools for Office editing (Microsoft 365), e-signing (DocuSign / Adobe Sign) and contract storage (separate DMS), SecureCloud covers all four use cases through its three modules — SecureShare (file sharing), SecureWork (Office editing), SecureSign (eIDAS QES) — on a central cloud platform. Consolidation reduces license costs, training effort and data-flow breaks. All data is encrypted with AES-256 and stored exclusively in German data centers. SecureCloud is GDPR-compliant, BSI C5 attested and ISO 27001 certified.
