Ordinary email
Excellent for communication, but familiar names, addresses and branding are not proof of sender or content.
We Secure Data combines secure delivery with mathematical proof included in every message and file sent through the platform. Both sides can check the signed evidence of recorded origin and exact content, instead of relying only on the appearance of a message or a stored copy.
These are category-level distinctions, not a claim that every competing product lacks a feature. Products, plans and configuration change.
| Question | Email workflows | File-sharing services | We Secure Data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Withdraw future access | Ordinary attachments are separate copies. Recall and confidential modes vary by product. | Many services revoke shared links; downloaded copies remain. | Retract eligible external protected access; downloads and screenshots remain. |
| Substantial file transfers | Attachment limits vary. Linked cloud files are a separate workflow. | Transfer and storage limits vary by product and plan. | 2 / 10 / 25 GB per file on Starter / Professional / Business, within allowances. |
| Activity visibility | Mail transport records and optional receipts have limits. | Access and download reporting exists in many products. | Supported sending, verification, access, download and retraction records; not proof of reading. |
| Independent content evidence | Signed email can provide signatures when configured; ordinary forwarding changes context. | Look for explicit exportable signatures and verification materials, not just a share link. | Certified content and exported evidence can be checked against a trusted organisation key. |
| Forwarding the original evidence | A conventional forward is not automatically the original signed package. | Copying or sharing a file does not automatically preserve message-origin evidence. | Certified Forward preserves applicable original context and evidence for the next recipient. |
| External recipients | Broadly accessible, subject to delivery and security settings. | Account-free links and account-required shares both exist. | Configured account-free protected access exists; an account may be required. |
| Familiar workflows | Email is the native workflow. | Many providers offer desktop and email integrations. | Web plus Outlook, Gmail, Explorer and Finder; plan and setup requirements apply. |
| Company-specific cryptographic signing keys | Depends on the signing solution; confirm the key’s organisation association and trust model. | Depends on the provider and evidence workflow; check key ownership and public verification. | Each company’s supported provenance uses its own key. Verify with its corresponding trusted public key. Explore the company signing model. |
Microsoft documents the boundaries of Exchange Online recall. Google documents Gmail confidential-mode expiry and revocation. Microsoft supports changing OneDrive sharing access. Dropbox documents account-free transfers and plan-dependent controls and download notifications. We Secure Data’s distinction is the combination of controlled delivery, recorded activity and independently checkable provenance.
Secure communication products vary by plan, configuration and verification model. Ask what is signed, how the business key is trusted, whether exported files can be checked, and whether verification remains possible without the original account. We Secure Data brings certified sending, recipient verification and portable evidence into one practical business workflow.
