Get Control of OpenPGP Encrypted Email Attachments

Do you find that individuals and departments within your firm have purchased and are using OpenPGP products with their email software?

They do -- usually -- remember to encrypt files, but you are concerned with other aspects of this data transfer. It is not enough that the files are encrypted. The company security policy requires you to:

  • Prove that files with sensitive data were encrypted.
  • Demonstrate conclusively who the senders or recipients of the sensitive data are.
  • Know that the files were received in a timely manner. 

Diplomat Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition address these business issues by writing an audit record each time a file is sent or received that includes:

  • Key IDs for the encryption/decryption and signature/verification keys
  • Records of the time each file was sent/received
  • Location to which the file was transferred

In addition, Diplomat makes the process for users even simpler than before:

  • For inbound files, users can still receive files as mail attachments. Diplomat can automatically pick-up the encrypted file from the user's mail folder, decrypt it, and place it in a file on their local system or write the file to another system on your network.
  • For outgoing files, users can place a file to be transferred to a particular trading partner in a specific folder on their local system. Diplomat will pick it up, encrypt it, and deliver it to a system at the trading partner's site where it can be picked up and decrypted.
