Cryptzone becomes de facto standard for email encryption in Norway

Cryptzone’s email encryption solution, Secured eMail, has been selected by 15 of the country’s law firms for the protection of sensitive client information communications. Many more are awaiting installation and 3 major ASP vendors are hosting the solution to meet their customers’ demands.

“Companies in the legal sector commonly operate under the pressures of managing information overload while maintaining timely communications and preserving client confidentiality. They are facing very high data security demands and a growing need for encryption. We see it as a demonstration of the strength of the system that several law firms have now chosen our solution. A contributing factor can be that the clients who receive the encrypted email do not need to buy a license as they can use a free Reader”, says Steven Portch, Founder of Jussystemer. “I have been active in the legal sector for 15 years and am surprised at the lack of risk awareness when lawyers send sensitive agreements via email. We now see that many have taken this problem seriously and are starting to protect their clients’ sensitive information. We're highlighting Cryptzone´s encryption technology in our offering because it has been used by many global legal firms and will hopefully be considered the de facto standard for encryption in the Norwegian market”.

“Given both the dependency by attorneys and clients on email, and the increasing possibility of problems arising out of that reliance, firms need to begin investigating and establishing email encryption as part of their overall IT strategy. Norway is leading the way in the use of encryption to protect their intellectual property and together with Jussystemer, we are pleased that our solution has been chosen by so many law firms in such a short time,” says Peter Davin, CEO Cryptzone.
