This means if you email a recipient who uses another email platform that doesn’t use S/MIME you may not be protected.

This is because Gmail relies on S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) to support encryption and it can only work if both the sender and recipient have it enabled. A company’s reputation is one of the most powerful yet fragile assets that can be easily damaged by unintentionally revealing confidential data, especially clients’ or customers’ personal information.Īlthough G Suite’s email platform Gmail offers email encryption services, it isn’t always as secure as you might think.

Many of these businesses are in industries such as finance, education, media, healthcare and others that require secure email to remain legally compliant with data protection laws or to exchange sensitive information without risking the loss of valuable assets. Today, more than 5 million companies use Google’s G Suite to conduct important business.
