WeTransfer alternative:
secure data exchange
for businesses, from Germany

Zero-knowledge encrypted and BSI C5 attested - secure data exchange for businesses, not consumer sending.

The risks of staying with idgard:Why companies are switching to SecureCloud now

No end-to-end encryption

WeTransfer is not end-to-end / zero-knowledge encrypted; the provider holds the keys and can technically access the transferred files. For confidential business documents, that is a fundamental risk.

SecureCloud: zero-knowledge encryption with AES-256 before upload - no one but authorized users can read the content.

No BSI C5, little governance

WeTransfer states no BSI C5 attestation; its individual plans are single-user, with central admin, rights and SSO functions only from Teams/Enterprise. The basis for governed team collaboration is missing.

SecureCloud: BSI C5 attested, with granular rights and user management plus audit logs from 2 users.

US hyperscaler infrastructure

WeTransfer runs on AWS, the infrastructure of a US hyperscaler, and states no German or EU data-residency guarantee; AWS is also subject to the US CLOUD Act. Where exactly your files sit and which law applies remains opaque.

SecureCloud: data centers and headquarters exclusively in Germany, under German law.

Sending only - no productivity

WeTransfer is a pure sending tool: no document editing, no collaboration, no e-signature. Every further step requires another tool.

SecureCloud: integrated Office suite (SecureWork), secure data exchange (SecureShare) and e-signatures up to QES (SecureSign) in one platform.
