Start a new email and click on the Protect button.Īlong the top of the email it will set the default permissions of ‘Do Not Forward’.

I’m using web mail here but the new Protect option is also available in the Outlook application. Prevents external recipients from being able to view the email.Protects the contents using encryption.Prevents the recipients from forwarding the email to anyone else.With the new Protect options you now have three default protection options, each include encryption ensuring that the data is protected and its read by the intended recipient. The new system uses Azure Information Protection (AIP) to protect emails from being viewed by external contacts to the company, stops emails from being copied or printed and allows you to send encrypted emails to external contacts simply by setting a protection option when writing an email.Įmail just got a whole lot more secure and I’m sure its going to get even better as time goes on.

If you saw my previous post on setting up message encryption to allow users to encrypt emails containing sensitive information like me you found it a great feature but now its got even better.
