The Top 10 Email Encryption Platforms

Trustifi provides secure end-to-end encryption. The service is deployed to Outlook and Gmail via API integration, which is quick and straightforward. Encrypted emails are delivered instantly, with comprehensive protection for all inbound and outbound emails and attachments. Encrypted emails are sent with two-factor authentication controls, without requiring the recipient to register for an account – this means that users are protected, even if their contacts aren’t using Trustifi. Admins are also able to configure data loss protection rules to automatically encrypt sensitive email data, such as those with credit card information, or other personal data, which eliminates human risk factor and ensures that confidential content is always secured.

Trustifi gives email senders a huge amount of control over encrypted emails they have sent. Users can revoke access to encrypted emails, edit the information in encrypted email messages and attachments after emails have been sent (with originals stored for compliance purposes), block users from receiving encrypted emails, and set expiration dates for emails. In addition, users can view email data directly within their email inbox, including when encrypted emails have been received, opened and read by the recipient. Trustifi offers powerful encryption that is both highly secure, and easy to use. We’d recommend it for MSPs, resellers and end-clients looking for cost-effective, cloud-based email encryption.

Bracket is built on a multi-layer AES256 encryption model with automatic key rotation to ensure that each user’s messages are kept secure against bad actors trying to access their email communications. The use of personal data keys enables each user to take responsibility for their own encrypted message data; this key is only ever known to the user, so no third parties, including Bracket, can access confidential messages without that user’s permission. From an end user’s perspective, sending an encrypted email is as simple as wrapping the subject line in brackets – there’s no need to install any apps or plugins. Users sign in to their bracket accounts via an expiring one-time-use link sent to their inbox. set up with device fingerprinting. This link only works when used on the device that originally requested access. That, alone with the link expiration time of 15 minutes, ensures that no other users can log into their Bracket account, even if they managed to tap into the user’s primary inbox. Finally, users can seamlessly transfer emails from their bracket account to their everyday inbox using the “Export to Inbox” feature.

MS Office 365 users can deploy Bracket quickly and easily with no need to change MX records before routing through Mailprotect’s services. Bracket also includes Bracket Share, Mailprotect’s secure file transfer service. Bracket Share enables users to securely share files with any of their contacts – not just Bracket users – via a personalized file transfer page and URL link, ensuring that even attachments larger than 1GB can be shared safely. We recommend Bracket as a strong solution for any sized MSP looking for an email encryption service with robust secure file transfer capabilities to secure their clients’ inboxes.
