CipherCloud .ccsecure Files

  • Audience: Affiliate, Faculty, Staff, Student
  • Service Category: Business Applications
  • Service:
    Box: Cloud Storage, Office 365

Overview

  • CipherCloud is constantly scanning Box and OneDrive for UCSF PHI in the background.
  • When it discovers UCSF PHI in a file, it encrypts the file and replaces it with a file of the same name and a .ccsecure extension.
    • Once a file has been encrypted, it cannot be searched or previewed.
    • Only the CipherCloud agent can access its contents.
  • Learn more on the Cipher Cloud page under the section encryption. 

Example

Original File: MyPatientData.xlsx
Encrypted File: MyPatientData.xlsx.ccsecure

  • To open a .ccsecure file, you will need to install the CipherCloud agent.
