An information handling system for securely storing a file includes a storage device and a processor that instantiates an operating system, a file system filter driver, and a storage device driver. The file system filter driver receives the file and access information from the operating system, combines the file and the access information to provide a secure file, and stores the secure file via the storage device driver on the storage device. The file system filter driver further receives a request for the secure file from the operating system, directs the storage device driver to retrieve the access information from the secure file on the storage device, and determines if the request is authorized based upon the access information. In response to the request being authorized, the file system filter driver directs the storage device driver to retrieve the secure file from the storage device, and provides the secure file to the operating system.
