PPAD is a file and email security product by Digify. It exists to close the gap that every other tool leaves open — the moment a file is downloaded, forwarded, or sent outside your systems.
Digify was founded in 2011 on a simple question: why should businesses have to choose between strong protection and ease of use?
For years, Digify helped teams share sensitive documents through secure virtual data rooms — with full control, tracking, and visibility inside the platform. But customers kept running into the same problem: what happens when files leave the room?
Emails get forwarded. Files get downloaded. Sensitive information ends up in places it was never meant to go. And once that happens, most tools can't help you.
PPAD was built to fix that. Not by adding another system for people to learn, but by extending protection to the files and emails people are already using — in Gmail, in Google Drive, and in their own products via API.
The belief is simple: files can move. Security should move with them.
PPAD isn’t a standalone experiment. It’s built on the security foundation, infrastructure, and practices that Digify has developed over more than a decade.
That matters for customers who need to trust the security of a tool that will handle their most sensitive information. The same ISO 27001-certified practices and rigour that Digify VDR customers rely on are built into every part of PPAD — alongside patent-pending encryption technology designed specifically for persistent file protection.
For customers, that means PPAD is not something they have to evaluate from scratch. It comes from a company with a long track record of doing this well.

Strong protection only works if people can actually use it. That’s been true at Digify from the beginning, and it’s the principle behind every PPAD design decision.
The goal isn’t to add friction for its own sake. It isn’t to make security feel complicated or intimidating. It’s to make strong, practical protection easy enough to use that it actually gets used — and good enough to matter when it does.
Every feature is built with security as a starting point, not something added after the product is designed.
Protection that requires complex setup or adds friction for recipients tends to get bypassed. PPAD is designed to avoid that.
Security that only works in ideal conditions isn’t security. PPAD is built for how people actually share sensitive information.
We measure our success by the trust customers put in us with their most sensitive information. That’s not something we take lightly.
