Email encryption: More compliance in just a few clicks.
Encrypt emails and file attachments easily and without IT knowledge directly in Outlook or the browser.
Although unencrypted emails are insecure, many confidential data are sent via them, thus causing security risks and GDPR violations. Or inefficient methods such as password-protected PDFs, faxes, USBs or traditional mailing are used. These are all complex and expensive. Digital shipping often fails due to the complexity of secure solutions. Certificate-based email encryption in particular is complex and time-consuming, and requires appropriate infrastructure on both sides. With FTAPI SecuMails, however, you can easily encrypt emails and attachments in Outlook or your browser.

Frequently asked questions about email encryption.
Always. The requirements and recommendations for digital communication in organisations getting stricter all the time. The guidelines are often in the interest of companies and authorities, as they can minimise risks such as the loss of business-critical data or sensitive personal data. It is important to ensure secure email communication – both internally and across organisational boundaries.
In addition, since May 2018, an EU-wide legal regulation has been in place for personal data: the GDPR. It stipulates that personal data may only be exchanged or made available on the Internet in encrypted form. Many sectors work with this type of data, such as administration, finance, human resources, and even sales and marketing. Personal content is often contained in contracts, personnel documents, general customer communication, orders or invoices. For this reason, the topic of email encryption is relevant for many sectors.
Yes. You can use the FTAPI SecuMails Outlook add-in to encrypt your emails without leaving your Outlook email inbox. Thanks to the add-in, you can write emails as usual in Outlook, add file attachments of any size as needed, and send your data encrypted. You can choose one of four FTAPI security levels and thus easily achieve end-to-end encryption of your emails in Outlook.
Most email programs send messages – and therefore also your important attachments – unencrypted. When sending emails securely with FTAPI, transmission is always encrypted with HTTPS via SSL/TLS and encrypted storage (AES 256-bit) in certified German data centres. In addition, with FTAPI encryption technology, emails can also be sent end-to-end encrypted, so that really only the sender and recipient can read the data.
S/MIME and PGP are both secure methods for encrypting emails, but they have not proven to be suitable for everyday use. Both the high administrative effort and the complex onboarding make both procedures unsuitable for IT security in daily business use. FTAPI has recognised this and created FTAPI SecuMails, a product that meets the needs of administrators and users. With FTAPI SecuMails you can encrypt emails instantly and securely, without any complex setup for senders and recipients. This mail encryption takes place directly in Outlook or via the browser using the FTAPI web interface. Therefore, no technical know-how is necessary to start using it.
No, only one of the two parties (sender or recipient) needs an FTAPI license for encrypted email communication.
