Stop sensitive data escaping unsecured

security alert

Strengthen your outbound email security with 'before-you-send' security alerts.

The tool acts as a safeguard by identifying sensitive content in emails and reminding users to secure them before sending.

Automatic detection

When a user attempts to send an unsecured email from Outlook containing predefined sensitive words in the subject line or body, Mailock intervenes.

It alerts the user to the presence of these words and prompts them to secure the message, to prevent sensitive information from being unintentionally exposed.

Customisation

Administrators have the ability to create and manage customised lists of trigger words, tailored to their organisation’s unique requirements.

This flexibility ensures you can define what constitutes sensitive information, in line with your business context and data protection standards.

Enhanced controls

Trigger word detection is enabled by default to maintain security and can’t be turned off by individual users.

However, administrators can adjust this setting if greater flexibility is needed, giving you control over your organisation’s security protocols.
