Message Secure Corporation has launched PrivateExpress, described as "a completely secure online document exchange service". The product is described as "a secure hosted service that enables financial institutions to meet numerous regulatory requirements for the handling of sensitive customer and institutional data". It is intended to allow financial institutions to securely and cost-effectively communicate electronically with business partners and customers, in order to comply with data protection legislation such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), California SB 1386, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and others. The service operates like email, and is said to require no training or hardware/software installation for new users. Unlike email, which sends messages and attachments "in the clear," PrivateExpress offers robust user authentication, strong encryption, guaranteed document delivery, digital signatures, content verification and a non-repudiative audit trail.
