Does the email archiving in Proofpoint Essentials meet compliance requirements like SEC-17A?

Essentials Archive does not meet specific archiving rules and regulations like SEC-17A. It is an email archiving service that provides a 10-year retention policy and legal hold functionality, but it does not cover many compliance rules and regulations. For specific compliance requirements, please consult with our team to determine if additional solutions are needed.

Which Proofpoint Essentials packages include email encryption and how does it work?

Email encryption is included in the Advanced, Advanced+, Professional, and Professional+ packages. It is not available in the Business or Business+ tiers. This feature provides automatic encryption for sensitive emails based on policy rules and content detection. Proofpoint email encryption automatically detects sensitive content using policy-based rules and encrypts emails before delivery. Recipients can access encrypted messages through a secure web portal or by registering for automatic decryption. The system supports both policy-driven and user-initiated encryption methods.

How does ProofPoint Email Encryption Work?

It is required for your business to send all outbound emails through the ProofPoint cloud service. ProofPoint will scan all outgoing email, and Artificial Intelligence will look for specific, potentially sensitive content, such as credit card number, social security, or banking information.

If an outgoing email is found to contain such material, the email is wrapped in an encryption package, and the email is sent to the recipients to direct them back to the encryption service where one can read and reply to your email. Responses are delivered to your inbox.

Available Plans:

ProofPoint Essentials Advanced and Professional plan only come with Email Encryption.

Proofpoint Essentials Email Encryption is available to customers in both US and EU regions.

What are the steps of email encryption?

Step	Description
1	The sender composes an email and hits send.
2	The email is sent to Proofpoint Essentials (over TLS) where the content is analyzed to determine if there are any filters that apply to the message.
3	An encryption filter has been created and applies to the email.
4	If the filter conditions for encryption are not met, the message proceeds forward with standard routing.
5	The email is delivered to and stored in the Encryption portal. (Expires after 15 days)
6	A notification email is sent to the original sender (e.g., "Your email was encrypted").
7	A notification email is sent to each recipient (e.g., "You have received an encrypted email").
8	The recipient clicks on the link in the email to view the content via the Encryption portal.
9	The recipient registers (one-time) to the service and reads the email.
10	The recipient replies to the email.
11	The reply is sent to the original sender (over TLS) and delivered to their inbox.

Key Benefits:

✓ AI-powered sensitive content detection

✓ AES 256-bit encryption security

✓ Automatic encryption for compliance

✓ Seamless recipient experience
