Send your confidential files securely with NetExplorer
Why does sending confidential files
require a secure solution?
In the digital age, companies exchange a massive amount of files on a daily basis: contracts, financial reports, personal data, videos, large documents, and even strategic content. But a simple email, a WeTransfer, Smash, or TransferNow link can be enough to compromise the security of this sensitive information.
Regulatory issues (GDPR, internal compliance)
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) imposes strict confidentiality and security requirements.
Every transfer, storage, or sharing of files containing personal data must be governed by technical measures for encryption, traceability, and access control .
Sensitive sectors such as healthcare, banking, legal services, and the public sector must go even further:
- Ensure user authentication,
- Define custom access rights,
- Ensure sovereign data hosting,
- And keep an audit trail of each transfer.
Consequences of a sensitive data leak
A leak or loss of confidential files can have serious repercussions:
- Damage to the company's reputation,
- CNIL penalties for non-compliance with the GDPR,
- Loss of competitiveness due to the disclosure of strategic data,
- Legal disputes and loss of trust among customers and partners.
Today, companies must consider transfer security as an essential pillar of their data protection strategy.
Risks associated with traditional methods of sending files (email, WeTransfer, etc.)
Sending files by email or via free platforms such as WeTransfer, Smash, TransferNow, or Dropbox seems convenient at first glance.
However, these consumer services do not guarantee the confidentiality or protection of the data transmitted.
The download links generated are often public, recipients are not authenticated, and document encryption is rarely systematic.
Files may be stored on foreign servers, exposing your professional information to risks of unauthorized access or regulatory non-compliance. An insecure transfer can also overload your mailbox, slow down internal exchanges, and compromise your users' productivity.
Difference between consumer sharing
and professional solution
Consumer tools such as Dropbox or Google Drive are designed for ease of use, not security. Their primary purpose is to allow any user to quickly share a file without any real control over confidentiality, traceability, or storage storage of data.
Conversely, a professional solution such as NetExplorer is designed to meet the security and compliance requirements of organizations.
This distinction is essential: in a professional context, every transfer of sensitive data must be secure, traceable, and controlled at every stage of sharing.
With NetExplorer, you benefit from an approach that is both simple for users and robust for IT teams, guaranteeing the total confidentiality of your documents.
With NetExplorer, professional cloud French, your sovereign solution for secure file sharing and transfer, allows you to send, share, and store your confidential documents in full compliance with GDPR, with complete traceability.
