Encrypted Document Vault | Store It Once. Prove It Forever

Encrypted Document Vault | Store It Once. Prove It Forever.

Most document platforms can tell you a file exists. Only an encrypted document vault can prove it hasn’t changed since the day it was stored. For legal teams preparing evidence, compliance officers building audit packs, and CFOs protecting financial records, the difference between a document that is unaltered and one that can be demonstrated to be unaltered is the difference between a defensible position and an arguable one.

Locked at Upload. Permanent by Design.

Every document stored in a DropVault Document Vault is encrypted with AES-256 at the point of upload and locked. There is no edit facility — what goes in stays exactly as it went in. New versions can be uploaded when needed, but the original is always retained alongside the complete history of every version that followed it. Every access event, every upload, every download, and every share is logged automatically in an immutable audit trail tied to verified identities. Organised by folders, subfolders, and labels with full search across file names and titles, the vault is as easy to navigate as it is to defend — in a dispute, an audit, a regulatory inquiry, or a court.

Built for the Moments That Matter Most.

Legal hold and litigation support

When litigation is anticipated, documents stored in the vault are already preserved in their original state. No legal hold process required. No risk of accidental alteration or deletion. Every access event since upload is logged. The chain of custody is already established.

Compliance evidence packs

NIS2, DORA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001 — regulatory frameworks that require evidence of controls, incident records, and risk assessments to be produced on demand, in a form that demonstrates they have not been tampered with. The vault builds that evidence pack automatically as your organisation operates.

Contract and agreement archiving

Executed contracts stored at the point of signature, in their original encrypted form, with the complete negotiation history alongside them. When a dispute arises about what was agreed, the answer is in the vault — unaltered, authenticated, and producible immediately.

Financial records and audit defence

Invoices, payment authorisations, banking confirmations, and financial approvals stored immutably at the time they are created. Auditors can rely on what they are shown. The question of whether records have been retrospectively altered does not arise — because the architecture makes it impossible.

IP and patent evidence

Intellectual property stored in its original form at a specific date and time, with cryptographic proof of when it existed and in what state. In a patent dispute or trade secret claim, the vault provides evidence that is substantially more defensible than a file creation date on a shared drive.

A Familiar Interface. An Unfamiliar Level of Security.

Folders, subfolders, drag-and-drop upload, and instant search — the Document Vault works the way your team already thinks about documents. No training required. No adjustment period.

Just a clean, intuitive file manager backed by an encryption architecture no standard file manager can match.

Labels, Bookmarks, Archive and More.

A set of organisational tools built for document collections that grow over time. Apply labels to group documents across folders — filter by matter, framework, or client instantly. Bookmark frequently accessed documents for immediate retrieval. Archive completed matters to keep the active vault clean without losing a single document.

Every version of every document retained permanently. Full search across the entire vault at any time.

Security and Encryption That Cannot Be Bypassed.

Our Document Vault doesn’t rely on our cloud provider to secure your documents – Instead we impliment app-level encryption, meaning your data is encrypted by the DropVault app itself — not by our servers or cloud provider. This ensures your data remains secure even from our own IT team or infrastructure provider. A breach of our servers will never compromise your encrypted data or expose its original content.

Each Vault uses AES-GCM 256-bit symmetric encryption on all documents — strong enough to withstand quantum computing attacks. Your key is never shared with any team member or contact, and is never stored unencrypted on a client device.

The Audit Trail That Speaks for Itself.

Every action against every document is logged automatically — every upload, access, download, version addition, and share event, recorded in real time and tied to a verified identity. The trail is immutable. It cannot be altered retrospectively by anyone, including administrators.

When you need to produce that record — to a regulator, an auditor, or a court — it is already there. Complete, chronological, and unimpeachable. No reconstruction. No assembly. No gaps.
