SafeMailer CMMC Email Encryption
Solution for Defense Contractors
The CMMC email encryption solution offered by SafeMailer is useful in enabling defense contractors to secure sensitive information and comply with the changing cybersecurity regulations by the Department of Defense (DoD).
The defense teams can confidently communicate without interfering with the workflow and productivity, as secure email is designed to be compliant. The majority of standard email is limited to CMMC standards and NIST security measures, which are not implemented in most email systems, and as a defense contractor, an organisation must have tools that can enforce strong encryption and access control without imposing on users.
SafeMailer satisfies this requirement with flawless safeguards that add to Outlook and Gmail.
Why Email Encryption Matters for CMMC Compliance
Technical specifications, contract documents, and communication with subcontractors are sensitive data that is to be protected in regard to CMMC requirements and NIST standards. This data is at risk because of unprotected email.
NIST Email Encryption
SafeMailer offers NIST email encryption, which encrypts messages prior to their delivery, thus minimising the risk of interception during the delivery process and storage. The practice will promote email compliance with CMMC NIST requirements and add security throughout your organisation.
Built to Support Defense Contractor Workflows
Defense contractors are dealing with complex supply chains and have to share data with their partners, subcontractors, and governmental agencies. SafeMailer allows defense contractors to do secure email through:
- Automatically encrypting emails and attachments
- Protecting sensitive communication without new portals
- Allowing secure access by authenticated recipients
- Maintaining protection even after delivery
All this occurs in environments that are familiar to email, and hence, teams will not be required to alter their way of operation.
Key Features
Persistent Email Encryption
Messages remain encrypted over the air and on the ground, ensuring that sensitive materials are not lost before the intended recipient can access them.
Identity-Based Access Control
Encrypted email messages and attachments can only be decrypted by the authorised users, even in the case of forwarding the message.
Attachment Protection
Program data, schematics, or legal information are stored in files that are not altered during sharing.
Audit Trails and Reporting
Activity logs assist compliance teams with monitoring the people accessing what by tracking it to support compliance reporting and forensic reviews.
Integration With Outlook and Gmail
SafeMailer functions with a current email infrastructure with no need for particular downloaded software by senders and receivers.
The abilities can assist organisations to engage in secure communication practices without interfering with routine operations and training burden.
