What does email encryption protect against?

It helps protect email content and attachments from unauthorised access, particularly if messages are intercepted, forwarded, or accessed outside of intended workflows.

Is encryption enough if an email goes to the wrong person?

Encryption protects the content, but it does not automatically confirm identity. Adding recipient authentication, using Mailock, helps reduce the risk of the wrong person accessing a message.

Does encryption include attachments?

Yes - Mailock encrypts attachments alongside the email content.
