Powerful quantum-safe security solutions

Challenge: Protect sensitive and confidential data sent across country borders

Laws and regulations

The governmental body's work is closely tied to the Act on the Openness of Government Activities and the Personal Data Act, which define how government agencies need to protect and process customers' personal data.

Email security requirements

According to the Act on the Openness of Government Activities, unprotected regular email cannot be used to send sensitive personal or confidential information.

 

Traditional mail and phone calls are not enough

Phone calls can be costly for both parties; plus, being in different time zones makes communication difficult. Traditional mail is slow and possibly unreliable.

Solution: Highly secure and encrypted email communications with Secure Mail

The governmental institute decided to use our secure email encryption solution, which helps them:

Secure email communications across borders

Email communications between the institute and citizens are protected with end-to-end encryption and email security protocols like DMARC, DKIM, SPF, and S/MIME-based encryption.

 

Inbound and outbound email security

Both inbound and outbound sensitive email communications are encrypted and protected.

 

Compliance with laws and regulations

Secure Mail is purpose-built for government-grade security and supports compliance with data privacy regulations, including GDPR.
