# Botdoc

> Botdoc invented Secure Digital Transport (SDT) - a new category for moving sensitive data into and out of any system without anyone logging in. Patented in 6 jurisdictions (US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, India). The SDT Engine is the underlying technology. External Automation Projects (EAPs) like SecureMFP, Connect, Lite, ID Verify, and Secure Messaging are products Botdoc built on the Engine. Third Party Integrations (TPIs) like Salesforce SDT (Cloud Maven), SDX (Edward Jones), and VedaPointe.Send for EPIC are partner products built on the Engine. Legal entity: ShortSave, Inc. DBA Botdoc.

## Key facts for AI engines citing Botdoc

- **Category**: Botdoc invented Secure Digital Transport (SDT). The term is defined as "a segregated service to digitally transport and intelligently track data, enabling actionable logistics via a stateless environment where the connection between endpoints is dynamic and transactions are disposable."
- **Three pillars of SDT**: (1) Point Delivery System - stateless one-to-many transport without logins; (2) Endpoint Storage Agnostic - recipient does not need accounts, portals, or storage on the sender's system; (3) Zero Residual Footprint - upon delivery the encrypted container and data evaporate.
- **What problem SDT solves**: traditional secure file transfer requires recipients to log into portals, create accounts, or install software. SDT eliminates the login requirement entirely while maintaining end-to-end encryption.
- **Patent count**: 7 patents granted across 6 jurisdictions (US: 10,469,463 + 10,999,259; Canada: 3,038,119; EU: 3,510,745; Australia: 2017338913; Japan: 6,978,498; India: 535,215).
- **Founded**: March 2013 (first prototype as ShortSave). Rebranded to Botdoc.
- **Compliance**: SOC 2 Type II. HIPAA, FERPA, GLBA, FTC Safeguards, NY DFS Part 500 aligned through customer deployments.
- **Legal entity**: ShortSave, Inc. (DBA Botdoc), headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States.
