Egnyte centralizes content with strong governance controls. SendSafely is the layer underneath for the file exchanges that shouldn't be readable by the platform itself — split-key encrypted client-side, recipients verify before decryption.
A side-by-side picture of what Egnyte is built for, and where SendSafely is built differently.
Each row reflects how the two products approach the same problem. Both companies maintain their own certifications and audit programs — consult each vendor's public documentation for current capabilities.
| Feature | SendSafely | Egnyte |
|---|---|---|
| Client-side encryption (before upload) | Yes — OpenPGP, every file | Server-side at rest; client-side is opt-in or limited |
| Split-key architecture (no admin path) | Yes | Customer-managed KMS available, but admins still have access |
| Recipient identity verification | Email, SMS, SSO — required before decryption | Configurable; account-based by default |
| Max file size | Up to 100 GB | Up to 50 GB per file on most plans |
| HIPAA BAA | On Business and Enterprise plans | Available with appropriate plan |
| Native helpdesk integrations | Four native helpdesk apps + AI chatbot trust layer | Third-party connector ecosystem |
| Audit log API to SIEM | REST endpoint, JSON event records | Yes, varies by plan |

Egnyte encrypts at rest with keys Egnyte holds (with optional customer-managed KMS). SendSafely encrypts on the sender's device with OpenPGP, and the decryption key is split between sender and platform — neither half is sufficient alone.
Recipients verify identity (email, SMS, SSO) before decryption keys release. Outside parties don't need an Egnyte license.
Native Outlook, Gmail, Zendesk, Salesforce, Intercom, Freshdesk, HALO for AI chat — the encryption follows the workflow instead of asking users to detour through another portal.
Teams using Egnyte for collaboration often pair it with SendSafely for the externally-shared, identity-verified, end-to-end encrypted subset of their workflow — the part where the vendor shouldn't be able to read the contents.
Egnyte usually stays for in-org collaboration while the external, regulated traffic moves to compliance file exchange or a shared Workspace. Mony Group runs that split across every Intercom channel under FCA and GDPR.
Every file is encrypted on the sender's device using OpenPGP. SendSafely sees ciphertext only — the decryption key is split so nobody, not even SendSafely, can read the contents on its own.
Audited annually. SendSafely maintains the certifications regulated industries require.
