What's Included With Cybersecurity
Regular Email Is Like a Postcard
Standard email can pass through several servers on its way and can be forwarded, intercepted or sent to the wrong person. For accounting firms, medical practices, law firms, mortgage brokers and any West Palm Beach business handling sensitive data, that is a real risk.
What We Set Up
- Encryption for sensitive messages that recipients open securely in their browser
- Automatic rules that detect sensitive data or a subject-line keyword
- Easy sending from Outlook or the web, with no complicated steps for staff
- Policies for what must be encrypted, documented for your team
Part of a Secure Email Setup
Encryption protects what you send. Email security protects what you receive, and email archiving keeps a searchable record. Together they cover the most common email risks. Learn more about email encryption.
The Technical Side
How encryption is configured in Microsoft 365:
- Microsoft Purview Message Encryption with Encrypt-Only and Do Not Forward options
- Automatic rules that encrypt messages containing sensitive information types such as Social Security or account numbers, or when a sender adds a keyword like [secure]
- TLS enforcement with partners who require it, so mail is encrypted in transit between servers
- Sensitivity labels that keep protection attached to attachments after they are downloaded
- Revocation of sent encrypted messages where supported
- Audit logging of encrypted message activity for compliance records

Email Encryption in West Palm Beach: Common Questions
When should a business encrypt email?
Whenever an email contains sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, financial account details, health information, tax documents or confidential legal material.
Do recipients need special software?
Usually not. Recipients typically open encrypted messages through a secure link or portal in their browser.
Can encryption happen automatically?
Yes. Rules can encrypt messages that contain sensitive data or when staff add a keyword to the subject line.
Does email encryption help with HIPAA?
Encryption is one of the safeguards that helps healthcare organizations meet HIPAA requirements for transmitting protected health information.
What is the difference between TLS and message encryption?
TLS encrypts email while it travels between mail servers, and most mail uses it already. Message encryption protects the message itself, so only the intended recipient can open it even after delivery.
Can we encrypt attachments only?
Encryption applies to the message and its attachments together. Sensitivity labels can also protect individual documents so they stay protected wherever they are saved or forwarded.
