Secure data exchange

What is secure data exchange?

Secure data exchange is the protected transfer of data and documents between people, departments or organisations. Unlike plain file sharing, it spans several channels such as shares, data rooms, portals or encrypted messages, always encrypted, controlled and traceable.

What ways are there to exchange data?

• Encrypted shares and share links
• Virtual data rooms for sensitive projects
• Secure transfer of large files
• Encrypted email communication

Why does secure data exchange matter?

During an exchange, data leaves your own environment and is especially exposed. Unencrypted emails or USB sticks carry risk. For personal and business-critical data, the GDPR among others requires appropriate protection measures.

How SecureCloud enables secure data exchange

SecureCloud enables encrypted data exchange from Germany with granular, time-limited shares, including for external partners without their own account. All access is logged; the service is GDPR-compliant, ISO 27001- and Trusted-Cloud-certified, BSI C5-attested and CIS-compliant.

What is the difference between data exchange and file exchange?

File exchange means sharing individual files. Data exchange is the broader term and covers all ways of transferring data and documents securely, such as shares, data rooms, portals and encrypted messages.

How do you exchange data securely with external partners?

Via encrypted shares or a data room with controlled access rights, instead of unencrypted emails. Granular rights, time-limited links and an audit log are key.

Is exchanging data by email secure?

Without additional encryption, email is insecure and limited in file size. For sensitive data, encrypted data exchange is the better choice.
