Outlook - How to protect an email by encryption? Video
In this video, you will learn how to protect an email by encryption.
The video covers the process of encrypting emails in Microsoft Outlook, ensuring that the content remains secure and indecipherable to anyone other than the intended recipient.
The encryption rules are usually set by the administrator and applied directly to the Outlook email client.
If the recipient also uses Outlook, they will receive a padlock icon and an information message indicating that the message is encrypted.
For recipients using other email clients, they will receive a link to view the message and may need to confirm their identity using a single-use code.
The video demonstrates how to encrypt emails, protect attachments, and perform actions such as replying, transferring, and printing.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your emails are always protected and secure.
This tutorial is specifically tailored for Microsoft 365 users and provides a comprehensive guide to email encryption.

Objectifs :
This document aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to encrypt emails in Outlook, ensuring the protection of sensitive content during transmission. It outlines the steps for encryption, the implications for both sender and recipient, and the security measures in place for attachments.

Introduction to Email Encryption
Email encryption is a crucial practice for safeguarding sensitive information sent via email. By converting the raw text of an email into scrambled text, encryption ensures that even if the email is intercepted, it remains indecipherable to unauthorized individuals. This document will guide you through the process of encrypting your emails in Outlook. -
Setting Up Encryption in Outlook
Encryption rules are typically established by your organization's administrator and are automatically applied to your Outlook email client. If these rules are not set, Outlook will provide various encryption options for you to choose from. To encrypt an email, follow these steps: 1. Open your email in Outlook. 2. Navigate to the 'Options' tab. 3. Select 'Encrypt'. 4. Choose 'Encrypt Only'. Once you select this option, a message will confirm that your email is now encrypted. -
Handling Attachments
When sending an encrypted email with an attachment, Outlook will notify you that the attachment is protected. If the file supports rights management, you can click 'Learn More' to view a list of supported file types. This ensures that any sensitive documents are also secured during transmission. -
Receiving Encrypted Emails
If the recipient of your encrypted email also uses Outlook, they will not need to take any special actions to access the message. A padlock icon and an information message will indicate that the email is encrypted. However, if the recipient uses a different email client, such as Gmail, they will receive a link to view the message. They will need to confirm their identity by logging in with their Google account. -
Accessing Encrypted Messages on Other Platforms
For recipients using other messaging services, they will receive a single-use code sent to their email, which is valid for 15 minutes. If they are using their personal computer, they can check a box to save the code for up to 12 hours. The email will open in their browser, allowing them to preview or download any attachments. They can also reply, transfer, or print the email, with encryption remaining intact throughout the process. -
Conclusion
Email encryption is an essential tool for protecting sensitive information in business communications. By following the outlined steps in Outlook, users can ensure that their messages and attachments are secure. Understanding the process of encryption not only enhances security but also builds confidence in the integrity of email communications.
