Email is becoming the most relied upon method of business communication. However, email also provides an easy means of transmitting confidential or inappropriate information. Legislative regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and Sarbanes-Oxley have been enacted to require companies to maintain and secure information. These and other regulations have made it crucial to monitor and protect email content.

In addition to preventing threats such as spam, viruses and fraud from entering a company, MailFrontier also provides protection of confidential and sensitive information leaving the company. MailFrontier offers effortless compliance to legislative regulations as well as enforces compliance with a company’s information policies.

Content Evaluation
As part of its content evaluation, MailFrontier supports compliance dictionaries such as those used for legislative regulations and to detect harassing or derogatory language. Additionally, MailFrontier’s unique Disguised Text Identification goes beyond other products in the market that limit their content evaluation to regular expressions and keyword matching. Disguised Text Identification detects information that has been accidentally altered or purposefully modified in an attempt to conceal its transmission. Misspelled and differently formatted text bypasses standard compliance filters, but is caught by MailFrontier. MailFrontier’s highly effective content evaluation helps companies prevent inadvertent error and intentional employee sabotage, saving substantial fines, legal fees, and the companies’ reputations.

Customized Policies
MailFrontier’s easy policy management enables enterprises to define and enforce policies that secure confidential information and stop offensive emails. When a policy is violated, the action can be set to send an alert or delete, quarantine, encrypt, or bounce the email giving the company the flexibility to apply the appropriate action to each situation.

MailFrontier integrates with LDAP leveraging existing email lists based on departments or other designated groups. Policies can then be created that are specific to individuals, departments, groups, or situations. The company can also delegate administration of the features and settings of users or groups to different individuals. By limiting information to specific departments or groups within an organization, the company can help prevent inadvertent or intentional misuse of information.

Partners
MailFrontier has partnered with PGP and Voltage, two leading encryption companies. Deploying MailFrontier Gateway with either PGP Universal or Voltage IBE Gateway Server provides an integrated email security solution including encryption, digital signature, anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-fraud, and content filtering—all managed by policies created through MailFrontier’s streamlined user interface.

MailFrontier Gateway implements a company’s security and privacy policies, and provides consistent and effective enforcement to create effortless compliance within the organization.
