Forcepoint Secure Messaging provides a secure end-user portal for the transmission and viewing of personally identifiable data in email. You configure the secure portal and the permission levels for your customers and other email recipients on the Security Manager Email Security module Settings > Inbound/Outbound > Encryption page.

Select Secure Message Delivery from the Encryption method drop-down list to display secure messaging options, including a template for the notification that customers receive to alert them to a secure email delivery.

Select the secure email management activities you want to allow your customers to perform from among the following options:

For each action, you can specify whether your customers can send mail only to your internal domain email addresses, or to external domain email addresses. At least one internal email address is required for the latter option.

An email recipient is prompted to create a portal account on receipt of the first secure message delivery notification. After an account is created, a recipient may be able to perform some or all of the following activities in the secure messaging portal, depending on the permissions you have configured:

View a received secure message

Reply to a received secure message

Forward a received secure message

Compose a new secure message

Include an attachment in a composed secure message

View secure messages that have been sent

Send a secure message to Trash

Perform a keyword search of secure messages
