What is Mailock?

Secure email, made to connect

Mailock is a secure email platform. It helps individuals protect their data and businesses connect with their customers.

 

Think about it. When someone sends you a postcard, you can see all the information they've written on the back. That's why they stick to “Wish you were here!” and avoid sharing anything sensitive.

We don’t treat email as entirely insecure, like a postcard - nor do we fully trust it with our most sensitive information. Many people would send a copy of their passport, but they wouldn't expect their bank to do the same.

But the truth is, emails and postcards are not so different. Criminals are able to access messages and attachments at multiple points. It's no surprise - email was never designed to be secure, and it’s been around since the 70s.

Mailock uses email encryption to cloak any sensitive content, including attachments. It covers them with a virtual disguise that can only be removed using a key. That key is provided only to individuals who verify their identity.

Mailock transforms email into a trusted channel for sensitive communication. This enables documents to be exchanged instantly and securely, reducing reliance on paper.

So, how do you encrypt emails? Mailock encrypts your emails before they are sent. Your recipient receives a digital envelope in their inbox, informing them that they have a secure email. They can then click a button within the email to open it.

If it’s easy for the recipient to open, what happens if you send it to the wrong person? An extra check - such as SMS authentication - makes sure only the intended recipient can access the email.

When you send a secure email, Mailock asks you to choose a type of authentication challenge for the recipient to pass. This could be a security question, a message with a code, or a third-party certificate.

By asking a question only your recipient can answer, or sending a code to their mobile device, you make sure the contents stay secure - even if the message lands in the wrong inbox.

Mailock encrypts emails and verifies recipient identity, preventing interception and protecting data from misfires. In doing so, it is helping us to build a safer, more efficient, sustainable world.
