EU-based hosting
Keep the secure exchange layer and operational metadata in EU infrastructure, aligned with European buyer expectations and data residency discussions.
Why teams switch from email
Email is convenient, but it spreads sensitive documents across inboxes, forwarded copies, downloads, backups and mobile devices. BurnDrop keeps the exchange focused: one request, one encrypted response flow, clear expiry and a short audit trail.
European data sovereignty
BurnDrop is positioned as a European alternative for secure request workflows, hosted in EU-based datacenters and designed to reduce operational dependence on foreign service providers.
Keep the secure exchange layer and operational metadata in EU infrastructure, aligned with European buyer expectations and data residency discussions.
Use a focused European service for sensitive document intake instead of pushing confidential workflows through global email and file-sharing platforms.
Export completed drops to your DMS, BPM, DRM, ERP or archive, so BurnDrop stays the secure intake layer rather than the system of record.
Use cases
BurnDrop fits teams that need sensitive information quickly, but do not want to become a permanent archive.
Regulated workflows
BurnDrop does not magically make an organization compliant, but it gives EU-focused teams practical evidence and controls that are hard to maintain when sensitive files travel by email.
Short retention, tenant-scoped access, encrypted payloads and download/export workflows support data minimization, confidentiality and storage limitation.
Secure intake, audit events, approval steps and reduced email exposure help operational teams demonstrate stronger handling of sensitive information.
For financial-adjacent workflows, traceable exchange, retention rules and integration hooks can become part of ICT risk and third-party evidence packs.
Security model
BurnDrop is safer than collecting sensitive documents by email because every drop is scoped, encrypted, auditable and short-lived. It is not a replacement for your DMS; it feeds it.
Request messages, response text and uploaded files are encrypted in the browser before they are sent to the server.
Keep documents only long enough to download or export them, then expire or delete the exchange payload from BurnDrop.
Use tenant-scoped access, approval history, audit logs, expiry and response status to keep workflows accountable.
Start with self-destructing secure drops, templates and short-lived document exchange. Add integrations when your clients are ready.
