Ask HN: How to handle sensitive document uploads as a one-person SaaS?

I am thinking of a product many businesses would find it useful but my only concern is that the product revolves around sensitive documents(like lawyer's documents but can be extended to other industries too). The product is already built by many companies but I have found a unique angle that I think would benefit my users. I am not a team and I don't know how to handle laws of sensitive documents as a business entity(and those documents might live on AWS S3/similar services).

I don't know what the product is (and you probably don't want to say...?) but is it something that could potentially done clientside in their browser, maybe in JS or WASM? That way you never even have to receive, much less store, their document.

That's a good idea - not sure how big the docs are, but would local storage be helpful?

Unfortunately, storing the document is required. Almost an essential feature.
