Securing File Transfers When Protocols Fall Short

For many organisations, compliance requires more than simply sending a document from A to B - it demands that sensitive information is transferred securely. Normally, this means using protocols such as SFTP or FTPS. But what happens when a service provider doesn’t support them?

The Challenge: Security Gaps in Standard Transfers

Some service providers restrict file transfer options to standard FTP, which lacks encryption. For businesses handling sensitive PDF reports, this created a serious compliance risk: how to transmit securely without the proper protocols in place.

The Lasernet Approach: Encrypt First, Then Send

Lasernet closes the gap by adding an extra security layer. Before any PDF leaves the system, it is automatically encrypted using PGP. Once encrypted, Lasernet sends the file through FTP as usual — only now, the content is protected end-to-end.

Why It Matters

• Compliance maintained: sensitive documents are encrypted regardless of transfer method.
• Simplicity preserved: no need to rebuild the process around new infrastructure.
  
  

Secure by Design

In cases where providers fall short, Lasernet ensures security never does. By encrypting before transfer, organisations can continue to meet compliance requirements without operational headaches.
