Secure Exchanges is a Canadian cybersecurity platform that enables professionals and organizations to send and receive sensitive information—emails, documents, large files, and contracts—securely and easily. Using end-to-end encryption, our platform ensures that only authorized recipients can access the information, eliminating the risk of interception, unauthorized access, or data leakage.

Our mission is to protect digital assets in transit against breaches, leaks, and unauthorized access by delivering accessible and effective cybersecurity solutions to organizations of all sizes.

Built to work seamlessly with tools like Outlook and Gmail, Secure Exchanges doesn’t require users to change their habits. It’s intuitive and accessible, making it ideal for both tech-savvy professionals and administrative teams.

Our solution is widely used in sectors where data privacy is critical—such as legal, accounting, education, human resources, healthcare, and insurance. It allows users to securely share confidential files (e.g., financial statements, signed agreements, ID documents), request legally binding electronic signatures, and track the entire communication process through detailed audit logs.

What sets Secure Exchanges apart is its flexibility and simplicity. Users can apply advanced security options like SMS authentication, access codes, or security questions for an added layer of protection. Every action is traceable, supporting legal compliance and internal accountability.

Hosted entirely in Canada, Secure Exchanges helps organizations comply with data protection laws such as Quebec’s Loi 25, the European GDPR, and U.S. standards like HIPAA. Data never leaves the country, ensuring sovereignty and trust.

We offer predictable, flat-rate pricing—no per-signature or per-file fees—making it easier for businesses of all sizes to secure their communications without breaking their budget.

Whether you're sending HR documents, legal contracts, or sensitive client data, Secure Exchanges is your trusted platform for modern, compliant, and user-friendly secure communication.
