Why Standard Email Attachments Violate GDPR Article 32
Sending unencrypted PDFs containing Danish civil registration numbers (CPR), salary slips, tax records, medical journals, or confidential financial statements via regular email represents a major data security breach. Standard emails transit across unverified third-party mail relays in cleartext or opportunistic encryption without recipient authentication.
The Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet) explicitly mandates that businesses handling confidential or sensitive personal data must implement appropriate end-to-end technical safeguards. KvikSend replaces unsecure attachments with an encrypted transfer tunnel where the recipient must first prove their legal identity via MitID before any files can be decrypted.
Granular Governance & Automatic Cryptographic Shredding
Files uploaded to KvikSend are protected by industry-standard AES-256 encryption. Senders maintain absolute control over each dispatch, including configuring single-download destruction, setting explicit expiration dates, and password protection.
Once an item expires or is shredded, its cryptographic decryption keys are permanently destroyed from memory, making data recovery mathematically impossible. A signed delivery log provides proof of compliance for audit purposes.
