Transfer data securely
The security of data in the NHS, especially patient data, is crucial. NHS England provides a number of services that enable data to be transferred securely between health and care services, and individuals.
NHS England business teams can use the Secure Electronic File Transfer (SEFT) to transfer data securely to and from any external organisation.
Secure Electronic File Transfer
Secure Electronic File Transfer (SEFT) works by providing a secure wrapper around any file, regardless of its size, structure or data content. SEFT provides data security during transmission (by using a 256-bit AES encryption mechanism). The data are held in secure containers at NHS England and only people who are authorised to process the data are allowed access.
SEFT can only be accessed by registered and approved users. We will invite relevant people to register for the service, and send you log-in details.

Alternatively, you can contact the SEFT team by emailing the National Service Desk for more information.
