What is a secure file archive?
Long-term storage for records you rarely touch but cannot lose: completed matters, filings, closed deals, historical financials and compliance records.
Secure backup and archive for files with a long life.
Some files are not working documents any more, but they still matter for a decade. Citadel is where those go.
How is Citadel used for archiving?
Archive keeps files fully protected but out of your everyday view, so the vault stays clear while nothing is lost.
Is it a replacement for endpoint backup?
No. Keep your operational backup. Citadel is the protected home for the archive that would hurt most if it leaked or vanished.
Every Citadel subscription protects more than storage.
Citadel is priced for the people who use it and the work they do. The service connects identity, networking, transport, protected data, recovery and business continuity in one architecture.
Identity
Quantum-Secure® authentication designed to reduce dependence on traditional key-based access.
Network
Quantum-Secure® private networking extends protection beyond the storage environment.
Transport
ParticleMesh™ protects data as it moves between people, applications, clouds and infrastructure.
Data
Secured2 protection is applied to the data itself, beyond conventional encryption at rest.
Resilience
Multi-location redundancy, recovery and business continuity reduce dependence on any single system.
Risk
Eligible deployments can include contractual cyber-risk indemnification backed by a Lloyd's of London insurance policy.*
* Insurance, indemnification, coverage limits, exclusions, eligibility and availability are subject to the applicable policy and contractual terms.
Long-lived data has a different risk profile.
A document that must stay confidential for fifteen years has to survive fifteen years of improving attacks. Key-based protection applied today may not still be adequate then.
Distributed, meaningless fragments do not have that expiry problem.
Retrieval you can trust years later.
Each file records a checksum when it is stored, and every retrieval is verified against it, so you can prove that a ten-year-old record came back exactly as filed.
Usage can scale without moving your vault or changing file identities.

- Are archived files still searchable?
- Yes. Archive changes where files appear, not whether you can find them.
- Can I download an entire archive folder?
- Yes, as a single streamed download.
