What is SecureDrop?

SecureDrop serves as a publicly available platform for whistleblowers that allows news organizations to gather documents and information securely and anonymously from their sources. Often, the metadata linked to a journalist's interactions—such as their geographical position, the identities of their contacts, the timing of their communications, and the frequency of those exchanges—can present risks comparable to the content of the conversations themselves. In instances where authorities mandate news organizations to disclose specific information, SecureDrop is designed to retain far less metadata than typical email providers or telecommunications companies. Additionally, the platform ensures that communications are encrypted during transmission, which helps to prevent unauthorized access and eavesdropping while data moves across the Internet, and the information is also stored on the server in an encrypted manner, making it inaccessible even if a breach occurs. This comprehensive security structure positions SecureDrop as an essential resource for protecting sensitive journalistic communications. Ultimately, it fosters an environment where whistleblowers can feel more secure in sharing vital information without the fear of exposure.
