Secure Messaging Services for Email

Securing your sensitive email communications

Organizations need a service that enables and controls how sensitive data is delivered to external contacts via email. It needs to be simple and intuitive for both the sender and recipient and require minimal IT engagement, while remaining in the data owner’s controls.

The Challenge

Certain communications or files are so sensitive that delivering them via email using the open, public internet is unacceptable. Since email is the most used business application, employees generally want to use it to easily deliver and receive all their communications and files, whether sensitive or not. They don’t want to learn another application and be forced to switch between systems to conduct business. Furthermore, employers don’t want more complexity and cost associated with more third-party services.

What organizations need is a user-friendly secure messaging service built directly into their email system that provides security and control over-and-above that which is provided using traditional email encryption, such as TLS.

The Mimecast Solution

The Mimecast Secure Messaging Service provides secure email communications right from your employees’ email client. Administrators can set overarching security policies which are applied automatically in the Mimecast service.

Mimecast Secure Messaging Service provides:

A secure, cloud-based messaging service that enables the sharing of sensitive information and files initiated directly from within your employees’ email client.

Easy message and file access via a secure web portal hosted by Mimecast.

Fully-customizable to ensure brand recognition and to enhanced recipient confidence.

Granular message controls covering message recall, expiration, automated read receipt, print and reply/forward control, which is applied by the sender or enforced using policies.
