OptionWhy Use SSLPost Professional?

"Information sent by email over the Internet is not secure and is at risk of being intercepted and read by people other than those it was intended for."

It is often said that conventional email is just like sending a postcard through the post. Anyone could potentially read the content whilst in transit from one email relay server to another. In addition, the email could be read by anyone with access to the recipient's email account.

OptionSSLPost Professional ensures that any confidential data you send can only be opened by your intended recipient(s).

SSLPost Cloud As well as protecting your confidential information against third party identity theft, SSLPost Professional also saves you money and precious time. No longer do you need to print, pack, pay and post using recorded delivery / registered post or call a courier for that vital document delivery. You do not even need to rely on the reception or post room placing your document on the right desk at the right time. SSLPost Professional provides a 'track and trace' functionality that records not only the document's electronic delivery progress but also the time and date when the recipient opens your documents.

SSLPost CloudIf you find you have sent the email to the wrong person, you can easily revoke access to the email. You can also put a time limit on the message so that it must be opened within a fixed timeframe or access is revoked. SSLPost Professional has in-built non-repudiation for any document that you send; guaranteeing the integrity of the content, date and time of delivery and date, time and recipient IP address when opened.


OptionBranding

You can customise your solution to reflect the branding of your organisation. We provide two levels of branding; simple and advanced. This customisation will appear on the communications you send as well as welcome communications automatically generated.

OptionBusiness Security Policy

Our Business Security Policy option is for medium to large businesses that want to apply security policies to secure email at a company level rather than at an individual level. There is no need to train or raise awareness among staff for securing data in transit; emails are encrypted automatically in the background according to your set policies to ensure security standards are maintained. You can decide whether all emails sent to a specific department, individual or organisation, for instance, will be automatically encrypted before send.

SSLPost Business Security Policy works in conjunction with our full portfolio, enabling you to reduce the risk of data leaks through human error whilst retaining control of your security policies.

Option2 Factor Authentication

For added security, SSLPost can also provide 2 Factor Authentication which, if enabled, requires a recipient to input a unique session one-time code (or "soft token") that will be sent to their mobile via an SMS message. They will need to enter this code as well as their password to be able to access the SSLPost encrypted file.

OptioneSign

SSLPost eSign is a digital certificate that when applied to a document, is accepted in the EU as legally binding; as if it had been physically signed in a traditional manner.

OptionSecure Large File Transfer

The SSLPost Secure Large File Transfer solution is a user-friendly, cost effective and secure method by which you can transfer large files over the Internet. It includes full audit reporting so you are able to monitor when the file has been successfully accessed.

SSLPost Secure Large File Transfer uses military-grade levels of encryption during transit. Recipients receive a link via email with which they can access the file and download the content. The whole process is quick and easy to use for sender and recipient.

OptionSSLPost Batch

SSLPost Batch allows you to send any document by email instead of sending it to the printer to produce hardcopy. It is designed for medium to large organisations that sent out large batches of documents such as memos, invoices, payslips and statements. SSLPost Batch can connect with any back office system including Sage, IRIS, all ERP and CRM systems and is simple to implement and very user-friendly.

The batch documents are sent to the SSLPost servers. Once received, the sender then has an option to choose what service they require for delivery, for instance; secure encrypted email, unencrypted email or recorded delivery. Full reporting functionality is provided through a web access portal so you monitor the activity in real time. Our user-friendly solution is easy and straightforward to use and integrates seamlessly into your existing infrastructure.

QuestionsWhat is SSLPost Professional?

SSLPost Professional is a simple and cost effective method with which to encrypt your email and file attachments. It also allows you to accurately track and trace your email, informs you when it has arrived and when it has been opened by the recipient.

QuestionsWhy do I need SSLPost Professional?

Sending documents via traditional post using recorded or registered delivery can cost hundreds of pounds per year. Add to that the cost of printing and sending someone to mail it and you are still left wondering if it has arrived safely. If the email contains information that is sensitive or confidential, SSLPost Professional allows you to encrypt the information with just one click so that it can only be opened by the intended recipient. The track and trace facility allows you to monitor the email's transit to the point of opening.

QuestionsWhat do I need to use SSLPost Professional?

SSLPost Professional only requires an Internet browser and an email client.

QuestionsWhich Internet browsers are compatible with SSLPost Professional?

SSLPost Professional has been tested with all major browsers.

QuestionsWhich email clients are compatible with SSLPost Professional?

QuestionsDo I need to change my email address?

QuestionsWhere is SSLPost Professional hosted?

SSLPost solutions are hosted in the UK.

QuestionsAre SSLPost solutions ISO Accredited?

Yes. SSLPost solutions have an ISO 27001 certificate, following an intensive 3rd party audit.

QuestionsHow secure is SSLPost Professional?

SSLPost Professional uses a mix of block and transport encryption processes. Secure Socket Layers (SSL) are used with a 256-bit key to encrypt communication from the sender to our servers (most credit card transactions only use 128-bit encryption). On our servers we encrypt using block encryption, which uses a combination of 256-bit symmetric and 2048-bit asymmetric processes. This is sent to the recipient over normal email (i.e. SMTP). Decrypted content is only made available over a 256-bit SSL secure link.

QuestionsThat sounds complicated, is it?

The technology is complex and that's what makes it so effective. The user interface (what you and your recipients see), is easy to use and clear.

QuestionsIs there are maximum file size I can send?

You can send a document up to 2GB using SSLPost Professional.

QuestionsIs there a limit to the number of files I can transfer?

SSLPost Professional is designed for fair and reasonable use. It allows you to send up to 12,000 secure emails per year. We monitor the amount of emails that are sent and will notify you when your limit is approaching.

QuestionsDo I need a digital certificate?

No. SSLPost Professional uses a password as the primary authentication method, thus eliminating the certificate distribution issues which occur in many similar systems.

QuestionsDoes the person I am sending to require an SSLPost Professional account?

The person you are sending the message to will be automatically set up with a free account. They will automatically receive a welcome email that requests them to complete a quick and simple registration and to set up a password. This is a one-off set up that takes very little time to complete. For more information please read the sign up & activation guide or watch the online demo

QuestionsCan the recipient send secure emails to anyone on their contacts list?

If the recipient has not purchased an SSLPost Secure Email licence, the recipient can only send files to you. However, if they wish to send secure emails or files to other people on their contacts list, they can quickly and simply purchase an SSLPost Cloud single user licence using this website or contact us for more information.

QuestionsHow long does it take to open a secure email attachment?

Opening a secure email attachment normally takes seconds. However, this depends on the size of the attachment or file and the speed of your internet connection.

QuestionsWhere can I get online help?

There is a comprehensive selection of PDF user guides and video demonstrations available to help you setup and use SSLPost Professional:

QuestionsHow do I contact the Support Team?

QuestionsCan I track messages I have sent?

Yes. SSLPost Professional tracks all messages, including whether they have been successfully opened. To view the audit trail of your sent messages, log into your SSLPost account and select 'Sent Messages' from the audit menu.

QuestionsCan I cancel a sent message?

Yes, SSLPost Professional provides a revocation facility. To cancel a sent message log into your SSLPost account and under 'Sent Messages' select 'Update Settings' to change the Seal status of a message. A revoked message cannot then be decoded. You may only revoke access effectively if the email/file has not been opened by the recipient. All further attempts to access the email following revocation will be unsuccessful. For more information please refer to our audit history & reporting guide.

QuestionsDoes the recipient need to download any software?

No.

QuestionsHow does the recipient decode an encrypted message?

When they receive your first secure message via SSLPost Professional, they will receive two secure emails; one will be a welcome email requesting them to set a unique password by clicking a link, the other will be the original secure email you have sent to them. This second email will instruct them to click a decode button and enter in their unique password (please note, the recipient will only receive a welcome email the very first time they are sent a secure message via SSLPost). For more information please review the recipient user guide or watch the online demo
