Managed IT services provider Trinsic Technologies released
EncryptSender, a user-friendly email encryption gateway service
designed for the small to medium-size business market. With a price
point starting at $2 per email account per month, EncryptSender is
available in either a Lite or Enterprise plan. With the Lite version,
users can send an encrypted email on-demand at the user’s discretion.
With Enterprise, organizations have more customization options and a
higher level of control at the enterprise level such as enforcing
company-based email encryption policies.
According to a recent survey conducted by the Ponemon Research
Institute and Juniper Networks, 90 percent of companies suffered a
computer hack in the past 12 months alone. Furthermore, businesses of
all sizes are required to comply with a multitude of recent state and
federal laws passed relating to securing confidential and personally
identifying information. Some of these regulations include
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPPA)/HITECH Act, Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX) and
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI).
“After looking at the market, we saw that it was unnecessarily
expensive and over-complicated for smaller organizations to implement a
basic email encryption solution. EncryptSender is an affordable
gateway-to-destination encryption service that enables organizations to
include this added layer of protection and compliance,” said Art
Powell, Trinsic’s vice president of sales. “For as low as only $2 per
account, you can add email encryption to your current email solution.
EncryptSender is ideal for smaller organizations that are subject to
privacy regulations such as HIPPA because it is extremely affordable
and requires no additional investment in hardware or software to
install on the client side.”
Powell said businesses both large and small are facing higher
demands for maintaining secure data communications and ensuring the
confidentiality of customer and personally identifying information, and
one of the reasons for this is the increase in successful malicious
hacking attacks targeting confidential information.
"Implementing encryption on our email with EncrypSender was
extremely affordable and easy to do,” said Steve Bostic, founder of
technology, design and marketing company Catapult Media. “It’s a great
service for small businesses needing to enhance their compliance with
all the new data privacy laws."
A recent survey by software developer Oasys found that a full 96
percent of employees believe their companies face some level of legal
risk associated with poor email management, with one in five saying
their company faces “High Risk.” The report also found that even while
business professionals say they are spending an overwhelming amount of
time looking for emails, an alarming 87.9 percent admitted to having
deleted important emails due to inbox size limits.
