SSIS Flat File Output - Is it possible to password protect / encrypt a file?

  • Hi all,

    I have an SSIS package that outputs a .csv file to a folder on an internal file share server. The file will contain sensitive customer information and will be generated each week so that a small team can access it.

    My question is... Is it possible to add password protection / encryption to the .csv file as part of the SSIS process? If so... what is the best way to go about this?

    Thanks loads for any help / guidance as ever!

    CSV files do not support encryption natively. However, I see no reason why you should not be able to add another step to your SSIS package which Zips up the file with a password.

    If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.
