Compliant Healthcare & Medical File Sharing

Filemail’s Dedicated HIPAA-Compliant, GDPR-Compliant Plan
Compliant Healthcare & Medical File Sharing
Encrypted Data Protection

Robust Security

Safeguarding PHI through encryption and secure handling, protects data throughout the file transfer life-cycle.

Encryption In Transit

We use HTTPS TLS 1.2 for encrypted data transmission to and from all devices that connect to our cloud. This shields all data from interception during upload and download, ensuring confidentiality and integrity throughout the journey.

End-To-End Encryption

Files are encrypted on the senders device before the files are uploaded. They remain encypted on our servers, and when they are downloaded by the recipient. We cannot access the files, nor the encryption key, so it is vital that the encryption key be shared with the recipient.

Encryption At Rest

When end-to-end encryption is used, your files remain encrypted in our cloud until the pre-defined expiration date. We use AES‑256 bit encryption algorithms, a robust secure encryption standard, trusted worldwide for safeguarding sensitive health information.

Control Access - Safeguard Data

Ensuring Privacy

We protect patient information by limiting access, ensuring only authorized users can access or handle protected health information (PHI).

Access Authentication: Use 2 factor authentication to verify login credentials thereby guaranteeing only permissible people can access their account.

Confidential Storage Space: At Filemail we don’t offer account-level share storage space. Every user has their own private storage space, and can only access the files shared with them specifically.

Controlled File Availability: All shared files can have a custom expiration date. Once this date passes, the files will no longer be available. You also have the option to delete the files before the expiration date.

Protected Download Pages: Define a custom password to add a layer of control and security. By using a custom user-defined password you ensure only individuals with the password can visit the download page.

Up-To-Date Security Protocols

Administrative Safeguards

Our security measures are in place to prevent data breaches, and if they do ever occur, we implement our data breach policy.

Periodic Security Evaluations

We undergo periodic evaluations by independent, third-party cybersecurity professionals. These reviews help us stay updated on the latest security practices. They also help us find potential weaknesses before they can be used against us.

Daily Updates

Cybersecurity threats are ever increasing, as is our defense posture. We update all anti-virus and malware definitions to provide up-to-date protection.

Breach Notification

We have established protocols that govern our response to data breaches. We promptly notify all affected customers and the relevant authorities within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.

Complete Oversight and Administrative Control

File Sharing Transparency

Visibility and accountability are critical in regulated industries. Our tools give you insight into file sharing activity, so you know exactly where your data is and who has accessed it.

Administrative Control: As an administrator for the account you can assign privileges to the appropriate users, thereby controlling what they can and cannot do.

Audit logs: You have access to detailed logs detailing file sharing activity such as files uploaded, file downloaded, the time, approximate physical geo-location, and IP address of the downloader.

Integrity Checks: We generate an MD5 checksum before uploading a file and another upon completion of the transfer. The checksums are compared to validate successful file transfer without corruption.

Real-Time Notifications: We immediately send notifications when key file sharing events occur such as download . Alerts are sent via email. Optional SMS alerts are also available.
