Description
Add secure, web-based email encryption to your security posture with the Sophos Central Portal Encryption Add-on. This service is an add-on to your existing Sophos Central Email Advanced license.
While standard Sophos Email encrypts messages in transit (TLS), this add-on provides push-based portal encryption. This lets your users send sensitive messages to anyone, regardless of whether the recipient has encryption. The recipient simply receives a notification email and logs into a secure Sophos web portal to read the message and reply securely. This is essential for compliance with data privacy laws like GDPR and HIPAA.
Key Features & Benefits
- Secure Web Portal: Recipients read and reply to sensitive emails in a secure, Sophos-hosted portal.
- User-Friendly: Senders just add a specific keyword (like "Secure") to their subject line to trigger encryption.
- Policy-Based Encryption: Automatically encrypt emails based on content, such as finding financial data or personal information (DLP).
- Compliance Support: Helps you meet data privacy regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI by securing sensitive communications.
- Recipient Authentication: Ensures only the intended recipient can access the secure message.
