SendSafely vs Tresorit

An end-to-end encrypted alternative to Tresorit for secure file sharing.

Tresorit centers on encrypted cloud storage. SendSafely is the broader platform — split-key encryption that lives inside Outlook, Gmail, Zendesk, Salesforce, Intercom, Freshdesk, and an AI chatbot trust layer — covering the workflows beyond shared folders.

At a glance

Two products, different jobs.

A side-by-side picture of what Tresorit is built for, and where SendSafely is built differently.

What Tresorit does well
  • End-to-end encrypted cloud storage with strong client-side encryption
  • Established posture around in-org collaboration with encryption-first design
  • Cross-platform desktop and mobile clients for everyday file access
Where SendSafely is different
  • Encryption that travels with the workflow, not just to storage. Tresorit's strength is the storage layer. SendSafely is built for the moments when a file moves between systems — into a helpdesk ticket, attached to an email, collected through an AI chat, sent to an outside counterparty. The encryption follows the work.
  • Native helpdesk + AI integrations included. Zendesk app, Salesforce app, Intercom app, Freshdesk app, plus HALO for AI chatbots. Customer files encrypted before they reach the helpdesk or AI vendor's infrastructure.
  • Recipient experience: no account, identity-verified. External recipients verify identity (email, SMS, SSO) and decrypt locally — no Tresorit-style account onboarding.
  • Audit log API direct to your SIEM. Every send, recipient, and access event lands in the REST audit log. JSON records, ready for Splunk, Sumo Logic, Datadog, or your SIEM of choice.

Why teams choose SendSafely

Four architectural differences that matter.

01

Encryption that travels with the workflow, not just to storage

Tresorit's strength is the storage layer. SendSafely is built for the moments when a file moves between systems — into a helpdesk ticket, attached to an email, collected through an AI chat, sent to an outside counterparty. The encryption follows the work.

02

Native helpdesk + AI integrations included

Zendesk app, Salesforce app, Intercom app, Freshdesk app, plus HALO for AI chatbots. Customer files encrypted before they reach the helpdesk or AI vendor's infrastructure.

03

Recipient experience: no account, identity-verified

External recipients verify identity (email, SMS, SSO) and decrypt locally — no Tresorit-style account onboarding.

04

Audit log API direct to your SIEM

Every send, recipient, and access event lands in the REST audit log. JSON records, ready for Splunk, Sumo Logic, Datadog, or your SIEM of choice.

Who switches

Teams moving from Tresorit to SendSafely.

Teams evaluating Tresorit and SendSafely usually aren't choosing one over the other on encryption strength — both are credible. The decision tends to come down to surface area: is encrypted storage enough, or do you also need encryption inside Outlook, Gmail, your helpdesk, and AI chat?

  • Helpdesk teams collecting encrypted attachments inside Zendesk, Salesforce, Intercom, Freshdesk
  • AI chatbot deployments needing encrypted file collection without exposing content
  • Email workflows where Outlook and Gmail attachments must be end-to-end encrypted
  • Financial services, healthcare, and legal teams with multi-surface encryption requirements

Shared folders are one workflow. Secure email and the helpdesk and CRM apps cover the rest — the same split-key architecture, wherever the file moves. MoonPay put it inside Amazon Connect live chat.

Audited and compliant

The same controls regulated procurement asks for.

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.

Compliance & certifications
SOC 2 Type 2 HIPAA PCI DSS GDPR CCPA
Client-side OpenPGP
Files are encrypted on the device before they ever leave it.
Split-key architecture
The decryption key is split so no single party—including SendSafely—can decrypt file contents on its own.
Full audit trail
Every send, recipient open, identity check, and download is logged with timestamps for compliance reporting.
