Are you constantly worried about sensitive files falling into the wrong hands when sharing them with clients or colleagues?
Perhaps you’ve been emailing important documents and wondering if there’s a more secure way to transfer files than your standard email attachments.
In today’s digital landscape, where data breaches cost organisations an average of $4.35 million according to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2022, encrypted file sharing isn’t just nice to have—it’s essential.
We’re here to introduce SureSend, a secure file transfer service designed specifically to address these concerns while keeping the process remarkably simple.
Why Standard File Sharing Methods Fall Short
Before diving into solutions, let’s understand the problem.
Traditional email attachments travel across multiple servers unprotected.
Consumer cloud storage solutions often prioritise convenience over security.
According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 82% of breaches involve a human element, including errors in file sharing practices.
For businesses handling confidential information—financial records, personal data, legal documents, or intellectual property—these vulnerabilities create significant risks.
What Makes Secure File Sharing Essential for Businesses
Secure file sharing for business isn’t merely about avoiding hackers.
It’s about protecting your organisation’s reputation.
It’s about maintaining client trust.
It’s about meeting regulatory requirements like GDPR, HIPAA, or PIPEDA.
When you send a file containing sensitive information through unsecured channels, you’re essentially gambling with your organisation’s future.
Introducing SureSend: Industry-Grade Secure File Transfer
SureSend provides a robust encrypted file sharing service that strikes the perfect balance between security and usability.
Our platform enables you to share sensitive files with confidence, knowing they’re protected by industry-grade encryption both during transmission and while stored on our servers.
Here’s what makes SureSend different:
- TLS Encryption in Transit to keep data secure as it travels across the internet
- AES-256 Encryption at Rest to safeguard files while stored on our servers
- Intuitive interface that doesn’t require technical expertise
- Designed with business compliance needs in mind

When you upload files to SureSend, they’re encrypted once they reach our secure servers, providing a level of protection that standard email simply cannot match.
How SureSend’s Secure File Transfer Protocol Works
Understanding the basics of how secure file transmission works with SureSend can help you appreciate the layers of protection we provide.
Here’s a simplified explanation of our secure file transfer protocol:
- Controlled Access: You decide who can access the file and how long it remains available, keeping complete control over your data.
- Upload: Your file is sent from your device to our servers through our secure web interface.
- Transit Encryption: The file travels to our servers protected by TLS encryption, preventing interception during transfer.
- Encryption & Storage: Our servers create an encrypted copy of your file, delete the original file, and store the encrypted version safely until accessed by the intended recipient.
- Secure Sharing: Recipients receive a unique, secure link to access the file.
This process ensures your sensitive documents remain protected throughout their journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

You control the retention period for your files. You can set expiration dates after which files are automatically deleted from our systems.

Absolutely. SureSend’s secure file transfer protocol works globally, allowing you to share files with recipients anywhere while maintaining the same level of security.
The Cost of Insecure File Sharing vs. SureSend Investment
Consider what’s at stake when you use unsecured methods to share sensitive files:
- Data breaches that can cost millions in damages and penalties
- Reputational damage that lasts far longer than the initial incident
- Loss of client trust that may never be fully restored
- Potential regulatory violations that bring substantial fines
In contrast, SureSend provides industry-grade secure file sharing at a fraction of these potential costs.
