Clarke for Finance


Encryption That Protects Your Balance Sheets, Clients, and Compliance.

Industry Overview

The financial industry moves on trust, regulation, and data accuracy. From accounting firms and fintech startups to private equity and compliance teams, professionals across this sector handle confidential information daily: financial statements, client KYC, tax filings, audits, investment memos, and internal forecasts.

As cyber threats grow more sophisticated and remote work becomes standard, finance professionals need real-time, regulation-ready encryption tools that don’t compromise usability.

Key Security Challenges in Finance

  • Unauthorized access to internal reports or audit data

  • Emailing spreadsheets and PDF summaries without encryption

  • Centralized file storage without access controls

  • Insider data leakage (staff turnover, unsecured USBs)

  • Regulatory exposure (GDPR, PCI DSS, SOX)

  • Inconsistent file deletion and backup practices

Why Legacy Encryption Isn’t Enough

  • Most finance teams rely on static tools like Dropbox, Excel, or Drive with basic password protection

  • Manual file-level encryption is often skipped for speed

  • DLP (Data Loss Prevention) systems are too rigid and costly

  • Centralized key management = single point of failure
