As global lawmakers move to modernise cybersecurity laws, one thing is clear: secure, transparent, and compliant file sharing is no longer optional. It’s essential.
In the United States, the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) is set to expire on September 30. Its proposed renewal aims to update how federal agencies and private companies share threat data, introducing tighter controls, accountability, and privacy safeguards.
While this is a US law, it sends a clear signal for UK public sector teams and regulated industries: governments everywhere are raising the bar for data security.
At safedrop, we see this as a wake-up call. Whether you’re in a council, law firm, NHS Trust, or financial services, the tools you use to send sensitive information must be ready for what’s coming next.
Here’s how safedrop already delivers on the global cybersecurity shift:
1. Expiry Controls: Set it and forget it
Global best practice means reducing data exposure. With safedrop, you can set files to expire automatically. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
2. You Choose How Links Are Sent
Security isn’t just about encryption, it’s also about who controls delivery. safedrop lets you choose whether to send the link directly or do it yourself. That keeps exposure down and power in your hands.
3. Verified Recipients Only
Want to prevent files being passed around? safedrop can require account verification before a file can be opened. That means no anonymous access, and a full audit trail of who saw what and when.
4. Geofence: Limit Access by Location
One of the most innovative features in safedrop is Geofence. Currently, it lets you restrict file access based on geographic region. Whether you’re dealing with UK-specific data protection or internal-only distribution, safedrop delivers.
5. Built-In Compliance: GDPR, FOI, and More
From GDPR compliance to FOI-ready audit trails, safedrop is built for UK public sector workflows. It’s trusted by law firms, councils, healthcare providers, and financial services teams across the UK.
Why This Matters Now
The CISA renewal may be happening in the US, but the trend is global. UK regulators are already tightening expectations, and clients demand better.
safedrop is ready right now, with the secure file sharing features you’ll soon be required to have. It’s fast, frictionless, and fully compliant, no IT tickets required.
Whether you’re watching legislation in the US or preparing for UK regulatory changes, the direction is clear: secure file sharing must be accountable, transparent, and easy to use.
That’s exactly what safedrop is built for.
