Why local and state government bodies use Egress

Government-certified

Our Intelligent Email Security software is certified by government and industry for sharing OFFICIAL (including OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE) data over the internet.

Comply with regulations

We prevent common email breaches, such as misdirected emails, and protect sensitive personal data to satisfy compliance with regulations including GDPR.

Free for recipients

It's free for your recipients to read and send encrypted emails. We also provide free desktop and mobile apps, and free technical support.

Guaranteeing TLS is secure

Our intelligent technology detects whether TLS is properly enabled by each recipient's organization and determines that it's appropriate to use relative to the sensitivity of the data being shared.

We dynamically notify users as they send emails if TLS isn't properly enabled or suitable, and can automate appropriate security to reduce human error. Local authorities can therefore adhere to GDS guides for TLS use, with clear visibility over the protection being applied.

- Ensure TLS is used appropriately
- Dynamically apply security relative to risk
- Ensure data is protected and comply with GDPR
