It sounds like you just want to encrypt individual files. Most major office software suites like MS Office will have an encryption feature so that you can password-protect spreadsheets. The other easy solution requires certs, but not the kind you're thinking of: if you want to protect individual files and know who should have access, you could encrypt them using openssl (maybe write an app to wrap it up nicely) and S/MIME certs that could also encrypt your internal email. If you know what you're doing, you can provision out those keys and keep a copy in escrow for data retention policy and accountability.

This works if you're emailing random files around for all information transfer, but it feels like GP is talking about the case where such information is accessed through intranet websites?
