Annual Pricing Discounts
Q: Can I get a discount if I pay annually for Proofpoint Essentials?
A: We don't offer discounts on Proofpoint products, as our pricing is already the lowest in the USA. Proofpoint doesn't support annual agreements either. However, we provide flexible payment options including quarterly or semi-annual billing to accommodate client preferences.
Email Archiving Compliance
Q: What compliance does the email archiving provide?
A: Essentials Archive does not meet specific archiving rules like SEC-17A. It provides 10-year retention policy and legal hold features, but doesn't cover many regulatory requirements.
Technical Requirements
Q: Do I need to change MX Record to use Proofpoint Essentials?
A: No, you do not need to change your MX Record to use Proofpoint with Microsoft 365 . This is a new feature. This will streamline deployment with enhanced Microsoft 365 integration. However, you will need to change your MX records if you're not using Office 365.

Advanced Email Security Features
End Spam and Ransomware with Proofpoint MLX™ Email Scanning.
Powered by Proofpoint MLX™ machine learning technology, Proofpoint Essentials spam and phishing detection offers maximum protection against email threats. It examines hundreds of thousands of attributes in every email to accurately detect text, image and attachment-based spam or phishing emails, while automatically adapting to new threats as they appear.
How can I protect against Email Ransomware?
The number one cause of ransomware is clicking on links in an email. If you do anything, you need a service to produce URL blocking and filtering. ProofPoint Essentials essentials email filtering service plans come with in-body blocking URL protection of email.
What level of protection can I get with Attachments?
Attachments, such as Microsoft Office documents, are often used in spear-phishing attacks to deliver banking Trojans, ransomware, or other malware. The Attachment Defense Capability leverages technology that powers the Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection Solution. Intelligence gathered by dynamic malware analysis is used to identify and block malicious attachments that are designed to evade traditional security solutions.
Anti Virus
Proofpoint's threat detection technology enables our email Anti-Virus to provide customers with unrivaled protection from viruses and other email-borne threats. Proofpoint sophisticated anti-virus engines, blocking all known viruses, operate at the highest accuracy, performance, and effectiveness levels. Heuristic scanning additionally discovers and protects against unknown viruses for added security and reassurance.
Proofpoint Essentials Email Encryption
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.
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.
Technical Details:
- Cryptographic Algorithms
- Message Encryption: AES (256 bit)
- Digital Signature: ECDSA

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. |
