MARCH _ 2019

Data protection

As well as significant financial loss,
since May 2018, compliance has become
a high priority for companies doing
business in the UK and Europe.
The new General Data Protection
Regulation regulations, which came
into force on 25th May 2018, will still
apply to UK companies dealing with the
EU regardless of the UK's decision to
leave the union and have transformed
the way that companies send emails.
The Information Commissioner's
Office has published detailed guidance
on encryption to demonstrate when
and where different strategies can help
provide a greater level of protection.
All businesses need to prove they
are fully compliant with the new
regulations and should be focusing on
the secure transmission of sensitive
and financial data via email.
GDPR requires that "the controller
and the processor shall implement
appropriate technical and organisational
measures to ensure a level of
security appropriate to the risk" and
expressly states that such measures
include the pseudonymisation and
encryption of personal data.
A breach under this new legislation
carries its own possibility of financial
loss, with a fine of up to €20m or 4%
of a company's worldwide turnover.

Why are companies slow
to adapt to secure email?

Statistics show that less than 20%
of businesses today use any form of
encryption when sending data via
email. Why is this? Simply, it has been
a cumbersome process both for the
sender and the recipient. Frama RMail

provides a secure method of sending
emails that is easy to use for both
the sender and recipient: no portals,
no logins, no software to download
and no lengthy registrations.
Even if a business is using a form of
encryption, that business still needs
a method of proving they have been
compliance. This is where Frama
RMail will help. Frama RMail provides
a legal, third-party authenticated
record of who said what, to whom
and when. It records email delivery,
opening, official time of sending and
receiving, and associated message
and attachment content, providing a
complete audit trail and authentication.
The Frama RMail platform provides
a secure environment for sending and
receiving encrypted business-critical
communications. There are a variety
of encryption configuration options to
maximise security, while maintaining
user simplicity and flexibility.
This unique offering provides a
powerful 256-bit encryption tool that
requires no additional work from the
receiver's end. Another key benefit is
that it doesn't store any sent documents
on the cloud or on any server.
Frama RMail is easy to install
with no IT intervention - it is simply
added to a company's current email
client - and there are also a number
of additional features, such as
e-signature and large file transfer.
With cyber-attacks showing no
signs of slowing down, all businesses
need to take steps to secure their
email communication with clients and
implement a system able to prove that
these measures are being adhered to.
Frama RMail provides an easyto-use solution for the transmission
of sensitive and financial data via
email while giving businesses the
confidence that the data has been
sent securely and can provide an
audit trail for GDPR compliance.
