FRISCO, TX - 06/28/2026 — Aerellus today announced the launch of Blackline, a controlled document transfer system designed for sensitive records that should not move through ordinary email attachments, persistent shared links, or unmanaged cloud folders.

Blackline was developed around a direct operational problem: the tools commonly used to send documents were built for convenience, not custody. Attachments remain in mailboxes. Shared links outlive their purpose. Cloud folders become standing repositories. In sensitive matters, the transfer method can create as much exposure as the document itself.

Blackline introduces a narrower model. A sender creates a transfer, uploads a document, and assigns a recipient. The file is encrypted and held inside a temporary transfer environment. The recipient receives a secure access notice, requests a short-lived code, verifies access, and downloads the document once. After release, Blackline removes its transfer copy and closes the access path.

“Blackline was built for records that should be released, received, and closed,” said Gary Gaffney, CEO at Aerellus. “The goal is not to create another place where sensitive files accumulate. The goal is to control the handoff, preserve the record of the transfer, and remove the unnecessary standing copy.”

Blackline is not positioned as general file sharing or cloud storage. It is a controlled release system for sensitive documents where access, timing, custody, and closure matter. The system supports sender visibility, recipient verification, encrypted temporary storage outside public web access, one-time download, transfer closure, and custody event logging.

The platform is designed for use by organizations and individuals that handle sensitive records, including legal files, investigative materials, financial records, incident documents, insurance materials, business records, and other documents that should not remain broadly available after transfer.
