Compliance Through Cryptography, Not Paperwork: GDPR-Ready File Sharing

Align with GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, and NIST frameworks through mathematical certainty. No DPA required—compliance is built into the cryptography.

Compliance Through Cryptography, Not Paperwork: GDPR-Ready File Sharing

Organizations face increasing pressure to demonstrate compliance with GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, and NIST data protection standards. Traditional file sharing services like Dropbox and Google Drive rely on policy-based security—requiring Data Processing Agreements (DPAs), trust in provider controls, and complex compliance documentation. EncryptedZip eliminates this bureaucratic overhead through cryptographic certainty.

Policy-Based Security vs. Cryptographic Certainty

When you upload files to traditional cloud storage providers, they can technically access your data. Your protection relies on:

  • Company policies and employee training
  • Internal access controls and audit systems
  • Legal agreements and compliance frameworks

These measures, while important, are ultimately fallible. Employees can make mistakes, systems can be compromised, and policies can change.

Enterprise-Grade Security Without the Complexity

EncryptedZip aligns with enterprise compliance frameworks through zero-knowledge architecture:

ISO/IEC 27001 Alignment:

  • A.8.24.2 Cryptography: Client-side AES-256 encryption
  • A.8.10.1 Information Deletion: Automatic, verifiable erasure
  • A.5.33 Protection of Records: Mathematically enforced access controls

NIST SP 800-53 Compliance:

  • SC-28: Protection of Information at Rest (client-side encryption)
  • MP-6: Media Sanitization (automatic cryptographic deletion)
  • AC-4: Information Flow Enforcement (zero-knowledge architecture)

Key Technical Features:

  • Files encrypted in your browser before upload
  • Encryption keys never leave your device
  • No DPA required—we cannot process what we cannot access
  • Automatic expiration with cryptographic deletion

GDPR Compliance Built Into Every Transfer

  1. Data Minimization (Article 5(1)(c)): Files automatically expire—no manual intervention needed
  2. Purpose Limitation (Article 5(1)(b)): Ephemeral design prevents scope creep
  3. Security by Design (Article 25): Mathematical impossibility replaces policy promises
  4. Breach Resilience (Article 33/34): Zero-knowledge means nothing meaningful to breach
  5. Right to Erasure (Article 17): Because files auto-delete, you don't need to rely on us to honor erasure requests—compliance is built-in
