Protect Files and Folders in
OneDrive and Google Drive
Seald Healthcare encrypts files, documents, and folders on your device the moment they are saved, before they sync to OneDrive or Google Drive. If a Microsoft or Google account is compromised, the attacker gets ciphertext, not patient records. Your team keeps working in the folders they already use.

The Problem
The Cost of an Exposed Drive
One click on a phishing link, a stolen password, or a forgotten share link can expose every patient file in a shared drive. When that happens, the cost is measured in millions.

The Solution
Peace of Mind for You,
No Changes for Your Team
Staff save, open, and organize files the way they do today. Only ciphertext reaches the cloud.
- Step 1
Save as Usual
Files, documents, and folders are encrypted on your device the moment they are saved, with your keys, before they sync. OneDrive and Google Drive only ever store ciphertext.
- Step 2
Open as Usual
Authorized staff open files on their registered devices during their allowed hours. Routine access stays seamless. Anything unusual asks for a one-time code first.
- Step 3
Every Open Is Recorded
Who opened or changed each file, from which device, and when is recorded in a tamper-evident audit trail you can export.
Secure Sharing
Share a Folder With a One-Time Secure Link
Send records to a lab, specialist, or billing service without an open-ended share link. Each Seald Healthcare link works once, only for the person you sent it to, and expires automatically.
- Single-use and bound to the recipient's email address
- Expires automatically, and can be revoked at any time
- No patient data travels in the email itself
- Every access is recorded in the audit trail

Breach Exposure
Encrypted Files Change the Outcome of a Breach
Whether or not you bill insurance, a breach of readable patient files can mean lawsuits, fines, and public notification.
Patients Can Sue
If your business is covered by California's CCPA, every patient whose unencrypted personal information is breached can sue for $107 to $799. At 5,000 records, that is up to $4 million. Washington's My Health My Data Act also lets consumers sue over health data outside HIPAA.
Regulators Can Fine
HIPAA penalties reach $2,190,294 per year for each type of violation. State attorneys general add their own. South Dakota can seek up to $10,000 per day for each violation of its breach law.
Every Patient Must Be Told
All 50 states require breach notification. Under HIPAA, a breach affecting more than 500 residents of a state must also be reported to HHS and to prominent media outlets.
Properly encrypted files change all three
Encrypted data generally falls outside HIPAA breach notification (45 CFR § 164.402), most state notification laws, and California’s per-consumer damages.
Rules vary by state. Confirm your obligations with counsel.
