Vo Encrypt

Security and Compliance in Action

Protecting your data is critical. VO Encrypt secures data in motion and at rest, locking down sensitive information sent or received through the VO Mailplus system. VO Encrypt supports company security policies and also requirements for compliance-governed fields such as banking, finance or healthcare.



VO Encrypt encrypts and decrypts your incoming and outgoing email at the gateway level. The built-in Data Leak Prevention (DLP) module can be used to prevent predetermined information, such as account numbers or personal client information to leave the organization via email. Two methods of encryption (user-initiated and automatic) provide greater flexibility and security. Users can initiate encryption of individual emails when the content is known to include sensitive data; and the DLP module will also continuously monitor to ensure that sensitive data is automatically captured and secured before it leaves your company's server.

How it works

Each time an email is marked for encryption, the contents of the email, including any attachments are automatically converted to a secure password protected PDF format and emailed to the recipient.

After the process of encryption is complete, a separate notification with the password is sent to the recipient by text message. The recipient is required to enter their password to open the protected PDF message. This protocol protects sensitive information from potential cyber thieves by ensuring that securely encrypted content and the password required to access it are not stored in the same location.
