Backup Your Documents NOW

All data is encrypted before it leaves your computer(s) and is never accessible without your encryption key. This encryption key is stored only on your computer and is never transmitted over the Internet or stored on SE’s servers. Only you have access to your files, eliminating the threat of unauthorized access. SE cannot access the files or even read the filenames. Each file is individually encrypted using a unique 128-bit encryption key. SE uses 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption technology, which was developed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and is the current military standard.

For added security and to meet the Security Rule’s transmission requirements, each encrypted file is sent over the Internet via a secure channel using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. This is the same Internet transmission technology that is used for online banking and online credit card transactions. As a result, data is encrypted twice: at all times using the 128-bit AES encryption, again while being sent over the Internet to and from SE servers. Further, all your data is sent to a fully redundant server and stored in a third redundant secure data center at another physical site. Each data center has 24/7 onsite monitoring, advanced security technology (such as biometric access controls), backup generators, and redundant connections to the Internet.
