A friend of mine has a small business (5 employees) and they want to be able to send and receive encrypted emails.

I'd like to find something that will integrate into Outlook 365.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I use ProtonMail.

Citrix sharefile is excellent. Also recommend 2 factor authentication for owa! Insist on that for email security.

I didn't realize there was native support for encryption within Outlook 365. Do you know of any drawbacks?

I was looking into Virtru. Do any one of you have an opinion on thier services?

Thanks!

the question is protect from what and who.

Microsoft can read from the data stored on their servers and will forward the same to a government legal request

Can you be more specific as to the goals of the encryption

Protonmail.

Strongest encryption out there. I would never trust my e-mail security to a Microsoft product. Especially if i wanted to keep my conversations secure from entities like governments.

If you use protonmail's client products or their website and other people do the same its extremely strong end to end encryption.

When the hackers like protonmail you know its good thing.

There’s also free, open source, PGP (Pretty Good Privacy).

This is the real question. You have to know the end-to-end expectations to determine the effectiveness. Simply blurting out a Brand and bashing Microsoft is a poor ineffective answer.

This is for a title company and sometimes they have need to email financial documents. Not sure what they've been doing up until now.

I'm not sure that true end-to-end encryption is necessary, but let's assume it is for now.

Protonmail looks like it is a bad fit because they want to continue to use their existing email addresses as well as Outlook 365.

Given these constraints is there an end-to-end encryption solution that would work for us?

Thanks!

I use ProtonMail for my lawyer email - you can port over domains rather easily.

It is also a VERY SIMPLE way to have clients use encrypted email. If they can use Gmail, they can download the app, and set up an address and use ProtonMail, and they seem to get the idea of “only use this app/email to send me anything”

PGP works, but, frankly, if you are asking for advice, you’ll probably struggle to keep/get it implemented.

What about Slack instead?
