Hi Giovanni, Thanks for that. USB is an option they wouldn't be happy with. And I forgot to mention that this a UK based company and so everything has to be FSA and GDPR compliant. And if possible some sort of cloud solution would be ideal. I am a contractor so something that is hosted offsite would be preferable. I am going to look at btan's solution and look through the links. But any other information is greatly appreciated.

Pay particular attention to personally identifying information PII which can be useful to thieves for committing fraud and identity theft. Refer to privacy guidelines for your country, municipality, or organization for specific lists of personally identifying information PII you may be legally required to protect. I would recommend consulting with data scientists and legal and compliance teams to determine the risk of data collection. If using cloud services in the UK, there is a catalog of services and what they offer.<br><br><a href="https://www.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/g-cloud" rel="ugc">https://www.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/g-cloud</a><br><br>

I have a client company who need to collect large amounts of data from financial institutions. They are looking for a very secure solution to collect the data, that will be acceptable to all parties concerned. Has anyone had direct involvement with a product that is secure, but easy to use? They don't mind paying for any solution that fits their requirements. <br />
<br />
I am having trouble finding a topic that applies to the question, so apologies.

Secure data collection for external companies

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Encryption

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Cloud services are services made available to users via the Internet from a provider's servers. Cloud services are designed to provide easy, scalable access to applications, resources and services, and are fully managed by a cloud services provider. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Frequently offered cloud services are infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), desktops-as-a-service (DaaS), software-as-a-service (SaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS). Examples of cloud services include online data storage and backup solutions, Web-based e-mail services, hosted office suites and document collaboration services, database processing, managed technical support services and more.
