The intelligent digital vault for families
Trustworthy protects and optimizes important family information so you can save time, money, and enjoy peace of mind
As sensitive family information like bills, rent, important life documents, and your vaccine card increasingly live online, you may want a more safe and efficient way to organize it all.
It’s important for both you and your family to have access to this information at a moment’s notice. If your partner or a close family member asked you where your marriage license or living trust were right now, would you know? Are they all in one place? Are they digitized? Most importantly, if they are digitized, are the files encrypted so that hackers cannot access them?
You might think that your paper-based filing system is just fine. While it’s imperative to keep original copies of many types of information — like your birth certificate, will, and your insurance policies — it’s also critical to have digital back-ups in case of a natural disaster, like a fire.

In fact, Thomas Keenan, a professor in the environmental science department at the University of Calgary and author of the best-selling book, Technocreep, told CNBC “more is more” and suggests “having multiple copies of information to protect yourself against loss.”
What is a cloud-based storage system — and is it safe?
While there are several cloud-based storage systems — many of which are free — some may also lack the security your important documents need. Some popular cloud-based storage accounts include Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Everplans, and Dropbox.
Whichever you use, password protection is necessary to make your cloud-based storage secure against hackers.
You can also use a cloud storage service with built-in encryption, like Sync or pCloud.
Many password managers have a zero-knowledge storage system. Put succinctly, a zero-knowledge storage system means you're the only one with an encryption key — the cloud storage service won’t even have it. That means even if hackers got access to your stored data, it would still be encrypted and inaccessible to them.
This can be a potential disadvantage if you ever forget your password. Some encrypted systems also make it challenging to safely share encrypted files when needed (like with a family member or financial advisor).
As popular as cloud-based storage systems are, many come with inherent flaws. These include:
Unencrypted storage, so if someone breaks into your email, they can access your cloud storage, too
Files with zero-knowledge encryption, which can be a downside if you forget your master password
Technology fragmentation across different platforms, from your computer to your phone
No built-in organization for different file categories
Lack of permissions to securely share files with others
Files in more than one digital place instead of in one designated system
Find an all-in-one solution
Most families keep their documents stored in multiple digital and physical locations, which makes it hard to quickly locate correct or current information when they need it. Ensuring your most critical details are accessible is one reason why it helps to have a well-organized cloud-based storage system.
This list summarizes some of the most important features for families who want secure, cloud-based organization.
