We set up and manage secure file transfer solutions (SFTP/FTPS/MFT) for organisations exchanging sensitive information with clients and partners. You get encrypted, traceable and automated transfers, configured to your security and compliance requirements.
Modern organizations must regularly exchange files with clients, partners, and internal teams – often containing sensitive or confidential information. However, traditional methods like email or basic FTP are no longer sufficient for these needs. They lack encryption and scrutiny, making data vulnerable to interception or misuse. In today’s data-driven environment, high-level security in file transfers is a fundamental expectation rather than a luxury. A file sent over an unencrypted channel, or to a recipient who should not have had it, is a personal data breach like any other — with the same assessment of whether it has to be notified, and the same questions afterwards about who had access to what. There is a clear need for a controlled, reliable way to share files that protects information and meets strict compliance requirements. Kristensson i Skåne AB addresses this need with our managed FTP & File Transfer Services, delivering controlled and auditable file exchange.

What Kristensson Offers
We provide a complete managed file transfer solution that gets your files to the recipient securely, reliably and efficiently. The central capabilities are these.
- Managed FTP/SFTP over secure protocols
We set up and operate file transfer services on encrypted protocols such as FTPS (FTP over TLS) and SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) rather than unencrypted legacy FTP. Data in transit is protected by strong encryption, which protects the traffic against interception and modification on the way. - Web portal for file transfer
For straightforward use we offer a secure web portal (HTTPS) where authorised users can upload or collect files in the browser. That makes ad-hoc sharing simple for non-technical staff and external partners, while the same security controls and audit logging apply. Whether a transfer runs over the web or over server connections, the exchange happens in a secure, monitored environment. - Automation and integration
The solution supports automated file flows for recurring transfers. You can schedule transfers or trigger them on an event, such as a new file arriving. We integrate with internal systems over secure connections or APIs, which allows direct exchange between systems — reports from an ERP to an SFTP drop-off, for instance. That reduces manual work and human error, and makes the business process more efficient. - Detailed permissions for users and groups
We put fine-grained access controls in place so each user or partner sees only what is intended for them. Permissions, on a role basis, can be tied to your directory — Active Directory or Microsoft Entra ID — for centralised management. Combined with strong authentication, unique accounts and optional MFA, access to sensitive files requires an authenticated identity with the right permission. - End-to-end management
The Kristensson team handles the whole ecosystem: initial setup and configuration, then ongoing operation, optimisation and proactive maintenance. We monitor the infrastructure and servers continuously, handle updates, patching and adjustments as needs change — so you can focus on the core business while we set up file transfers that are stable and secure.
Security & Compliance
We implement encryption, access controls and traceability, so that transfers are protected, restricted to the right people and possible to audit afterwards. Security and compliance are at the centre of the service, particularly for organisations in regulated sectors or handling personal data under the GDPR.
- Encryption in transit and at rest
Transfers run over modern TLS- or SSH-based protocols, and data at rest is encrypted according to the platform’s configuration — AES-based encryption where that applies. Note what this is and is not: the transfer server can read the file, so this is protected transport and protected storage rather than end-to-end encryption. Where a file has to stay unreadable to the intermediary as well, it needs to be encrypted before it is uploaded, and we design for that when the requirement calls for it. - Secure authentication and access control
We apply secure authentication and role-based access. Every user has to authenticate with their permissions, and we offer MFA, so only authorised people can start or collect a transfer. Granular permissions limit access per user and group and reduce the risk of a leak. - Comprehensive logging and audit trail
Every file transfer and user action is logged. You get a clear audit trail of who uploaded or collected a file, when, and from where. These logs are protected against modification and give traceability and accountability, which is what audit and forensics need. - Alignment with regulatory requirements
The solution is built to help you meet requirements on data protection and audit. Because every transfer is encrypted, traceable and auditable, it supports compliance with the GDPR and sector requirements such as NIS2, DORA and PCI DSS. We follow how those develop and can help with the policies — retention and access, for instance — that go with them. You get the technical controls and the documentation that legal and audit requirements ask for.
Use Cases
The service suits anyone who needs secure file transfer, and particularly for sensitive information or large volumes of data. Common scenarios.
- Secure document exchange in regulated sectors
Finance, healthcare, law and HR frequently need to send confidential documents. The platform gives encrypted channels, strict access and detailed logging, which supports GDPR compliance. Replacing email reduces the risk of interception and accidental exposure, and gives you a controlled, auditable environment. - Large file transfers and media distribution
For large files — video, databases, CAD drawings, archives — the standard methods are often slow or unreliable. The solution is built for performance and reliability at multi-gigabyte sizes, with the limits set by the platform, the storage and the network rather than by the protocol, and with visibility of status. - Recurring data flows and integrations
Scheduled flows — nightly batches, daily order files, synchronisation between on-premises and cloud — can be automated with schedules and triggers. That puts the right data in place at the right time, with validation and alerts on deviations, and takes the manual handling out.
Delivery Model
We offer flexible arrangements and full support so the service fits your requirements.
- Cloud-hosted or on-premises
We can deliver it as a cloud service or install it on-premises in your environment, depending on your strategy and your requirements on where data may sit. Both delivery models can be designed for the same security requirements; the implementation differs with the environment. - Complete setup and configuration
We handle the whole implementation: accounts, permissions, folder structure, retention, integrations — and make sure the platform is hardened, correctly installed and ready from day one. - Monitoring and proactive support
Automated monitoring runs around the clock: uptime, performance and security events. On-call cover outside office hours can be offered and is agreed in the service. On a fault or an alert we act to keep the interruption short and get critical transfers moving again. - Training and ongoing guidance
We offer training for administrators and users, along with documentation and practice — formats for automation, credential handling and the like. As requirements and needs change we help you adjust the arrangement so you keep working securely and efficiently.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between FTP, SFTP, FTPS and MFT?
FTP transfers files unencrypted and should not be used for sensitive information. SFTP and FTPS are encrypted variants over SSH and TLS respectively. MFT, managed file transfer, adds governance on top of the protocols: permissions, automation, logging, audit trails and monitoring in a managed solution.
Can file transfers be automated?
Yes. The solution supports scheduled and event-driven flows, for example nightly batches, daily order files and synchronisation between systems, with receipts and alerts if a flow fails.
How does the solution help us with the GDPR and other requirements?
Through encryption in transit and at rest, secure authentication and role-based access, and logging of every transfer and user action. That gives an audit trail showing who handled which data and when.
