The Greenview Data Source An open discussion of email, encryption, security, & the web.

Encryption Wednesdays in August

We recently attended Hosting Con 2010 in Austin, TX., a conference which brings attendees from all over the world to discuss the current and future state of the hosted service landscape. We had a great time there both sharing and learning about all the ways that hosted email services are improving business, and had a lot of discussions on how hosting solutions have emerged to replace the time consuming and costly traditional software/appliance model. But the key topic was definitely the increased necessity of encryption over the past year.

Years ago when Greenview Data first began to offer a hosted email encryption solution, encryption was most prevalent in the health care sector due to the type of data transmitted and of course the HIPAA laws. However, in most other environments it was a frequently overlooked "best practice" due to the monumental effort involved. We recognized this need and began working with key players to produce a hosted service that was simple, cost effective, easy to implement and maintain, and satisfied all regulatory requirements.

Over the past year we have seen a tremendous increase in the demand for this service in response to the changing business landscape. Five years ago, our focus was on the large hospital market; now our email encryption customers extend to every facet of the healthcare and financial sectors, as well as many other organizations that either simply want to keep their data safe or are required to by state-wide mandates. We have added numerous encryption specialists to respond to this growing demand and to ensure we have top-notch support to cater to your needs when you need us. Today, we're extremely proud of our hosted encryption service, and especially the strong and dedicated customer support team behind it.

We understand how important, but often cumbersome and time consuming, email encryption can be. And we also believe that it's important for everyone to be well-informed on the topic and aware of all their options, because email encryption isn't just a vanity service - it's a vital step in ensuring our safety and privacy on the internet. To help with this situation, we are pleased to announce Encryption Wednesdays for the entire month of August.  Each Wednesday during August, our encryption team will be available for scheduled appointments to discuss email encryption with any interested organization, with the same manner of personalized attention our customers have come to expect from Greenview Data since 1980. Best of all? We're doing this completely free of charge.

These consultations are a time where we can discuss your unique situation, determine your needs, explore possible solutions, and give you honest answers to any questions you may have. To schedule an appointment simply fill out this form with information about your environment and your available times.  One of our encryption specialists will be in touch shortly to confirm your details, and finalize the appointment.

If you determine that our hosted email encryption service is a part of your encryption solution, we can initiate your setup while we're on the phone and have you up and running in under 48 hours. You may also determine that your organization doesn't have a need for email encryption at this time, or that our service just isn't the right fit (although we doubt that - we've got something for everyone). That's fine. We just think it's good for everyone to have all the facts to make an informed decision about an issue that is so important.
