What is CryptShare
CryptShare is an enterprise-focused solution for encrypting and securely delivering email messages and file attachments. It is typically used by organizations that need to exchange sensitive information with external recipients without requiring them to install client software or manage certificates. The product emphasizes policy-based secure delivery workflows (for example, web-based pickup links and password/PIN-based access) and administrative controls for compliance-oriented use cases.
Secure external email delivery
CryptShare supports sending protected messages and large attachments to recipients outside the organization using secure delivery workflows rather than relying solely on end-to-end client encryption. This approach can reduce friction for external recipients who do not have compatible encryption tools. It fits common regulated use cases such as exchanging personal data, contracts, and financial documents.
No certificate management required
The product’s secure message pickup and access-control model avoids the operational overhead of managing S/MIME certificates or PGP keys for broad recipient populations. This can simplify rollout for business users who frequently communicate with many external parties. It also reduces support burden compared with certificate-based email encryption programs.
Administrative policy and auditing
CryptShare is designed for centralized administration, enabling organizations to define policies for secure sending and retention. It typically provides logging and audit trails to support internal controls and compliance reporting. These capabilities are important in environments where email security must be demonstrable and reviewable.
Not full data protection suite
CryptShare primarily addresses secure email and file transfer rather than broad data security controls across endpoints, cloud apps, and databases. Organizations needing tokenization, field-level data protection, or privacy engineering controls may require additional tools. It is less suited as a single platform for enterprise-wide data security beyond messaging workflows.
Recipient experience trade-offs
Web-based pickup links and password/PIN access can introduce extra steps for recipients compared with standard email delivery. This can affect usability for high-volume customer communications or time-sensitive workflows. Organizations often need clear recipient instructions and support processes to minimize delivery friction.
Integration and deployment effort
Deployments commonly require integration with existing email infrastructure and identity/access controls to enforce policies consistently. Depending on the environment, configuration and change management can be non-trivial, especially for hybrid mail setups. Ongoing administration is typically needed to maintain policies, templates, and audit requirements.
