Most sharing apps and email grant access with a simple link. DropVault authenticates every access — you always know which contact signed in, when, and from where. That’s a level of security link-based sharing can’t match.

Authentication is critical for sharing anything sensitive and provides a level of security unmatched by apps using simple email links.

We don’t rely on a cloud provider to encrypt your data.

DropVault uses 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.

Every message, reply, and document is encrypted before it ever reaches our servers. This is real security by design.

Every message, reply, and document is encrypted before it reaches our servers. Data at rest is where most breaches happen — an estimated 95% of them. Encrypting before storage protects you even if our infrastructure, or yours, is compromised.

Internal management portals are a common weak point for software providers — compromise one, and you often get direct access to customer data. DropVault’s portal has zero visibility into your data. Channels, portals, messages, and documents stay inaccessible to us, so they can’t be exposed even if the portal itself is compromised.

Your documents aren’t accessible via the internet, visible to DropVault outside the app, or mapped as a file or folder anywhere. Ransomware has nothing to see.

Single sign-on for your team and external contacts via Gmail, Microsoft, and Outlook — Apple ID coming soon.

DropVault uses AES-GCM 256-bit symmetric encryption on every message, reply, and document. Your key is never shared with any team member or contact, and never stored unencrypted on a client device.

Every channel gets its own randomly generated 256-bit key in the key vault, fully segregating it from every other conversation and document set.

Best practice puts keys as far from the data they protect as possible. DropVault stores all keys in an external HSM-backed key vault, accessible only by the DropVault app.

We offer two key management tiers for different compliance needs. Both give you per-channel key isolation – a level of protection generic file-sharing platforms don’t offer. For organizations needing the highest cryptographic assurance – PCI DSS, DORA, or eIDAS – our HSM-backed tier stores all key material in a tamper-resistant hardware device, meeting the standard regulators expect from essential entities. Both tiers fully satisfy NIS2 Article 21.

Need more control? Store and manage all encryption keys in your own corporate HSM. Create, rotate, expire, and manage keys independently of DropVault, with full key ownership.

DropVault enforces strong password rules for every team member, with no user-selectable passwords permitted. Any attempt to change a password triggers an instant alert.

As phishing gets more sophisticated, passkeys are the industry’s answer. Users authenticating through supported SSO providers get passkey protection automatically.

For channels storing highly sensitive data, businesses can add a second layer of protection with a channel-specific password. Team members only need to enter this password once per session.

Multi-factor authentication is enabled by default, including support for authenticator apps. This adds a critical second layer of security beyond passwords alone.

Once your computer, device, or location have been registered with your SafeRoom, DropVault will now allow access to your SafeRoom from any other device or location unless you add them. A simple but powerful way to keep intruders out.

Support for native Passkey (FIDO) authentication allows for facial and fingerprint biometrics access to both sign in and channels, providing enhanced security and less friction for businesses and contacts.

If all your clients are in the US, there’s no need to allow login access attempts from other countries. Flexible IP blocking makes it easy to decide what access requests are blocked by default.

Allowed locatons allow a business to control how and from where their team members can access their DropVault dashboard

Your own dedicated security dashboard makes it easy to view, monitor, and track your user and contact logins, their access locations, any MFA failures or discrepancies, and any unusual behavior.

Using the dashboard you can also instantly suspend any access for a team member or external contact or block all external access.

Our system continuously monitors every connection and every attempt at access and takes immediate action to limit access if any suspicious activity is detected.

This security feature analyzes user activity patterns to identify potentially suspicious behavior. If suspicious access is detected, the system automatically suspends the affected user or group and notifies the designated business owner.

To enhance security, session timeouts can be easily be set and modified based on your business needs and security requirements. Adjust the timeout from 15 minutes up to 7 days

Customize how the app responds to changing user locations, session timeout etc. The security posture can be set to match any business needs and allows or prevents access based on the users location, session length and other factors.
