What is ShieldFive?

ShieldFive is a secure way for firms to collect confidential documents from clients — tax returns, statements, IDs — without insecure email or account-gated portals. You send a request link; your client uploads with no account, no app and no password. Every file is encrypted in the client's browser before it uploads, so only your firm can open it — not even ShieldFive can read it.

Files are hosted in the EU (Frankfurt and Amsterdam) and the setup is GDPR-compliant, with a DPA available. The encryption core is open-source, so it can be independently audited. Built for accounting and law firms and priced per seat (€29/month, free to start); clients never pay and never create an account.

It's an alternative to tools like Content Snare, FileInvite and SmartVault for firms that need genuine confidentiality — because the files are end-to-end encrypted, the service provider itself cannot read them.

For personal files, ShieldFive is also end-to-end encrypted cloud storage: 5 GB free, or the Lifetime Vault, 2 TB for €199 paid once with no renewals.
