A mid-sized Law Practice needed a secure, cost effective and timely method of sending
documents and contracts to clients, as well as, between staff members. Email
was the obvious solution but security was the barrier-to-entry, especially when
sending sensitive documents to clients. Other factors, such as the flexibility
to add or remove clients from a secure email solution was also a consideration due
to the potential costs involved in issuing and managing the public/private keys
required and then supporting each client to set-up their software correctly.
In particular, the flexibility to easily add and remove clients from their secure
email was important because some clients only required secure communications for
a short period of time until their legal matter was resolved
Mirramail was able to provide the perfect solution to all of the Law firms requirements.
Clients could be easily added to and removed from the Law firms registered Mirramail
users because each user license is transferable. Once a client's law matter
is resolved, the Mirramail user license can easily be transferred to a new client.
Security and ease-of-use was also easily handled by Mirramail due to its industry
standard 256-bit AES encryption method. The Law firms clients could also choose
to continue to use Outlook or Outlook Express in conjunction with Mirramail and
the administration of Mirramail required by the Law firm was minimal.
Another benefit of Mirramail was the ability to receive a confirmation email when
the message had been decrypted by the recipient, which automatically stated the
time and date that the message was decrypted.
Everyone is aware that the privacy of patients' health records and personal information
is not only vital, but a legal requirement for all health professionals. A
large hospital required a solution to replace their existing methods of sending
discharge summaries, specialist referrals and other personal information by fax
or post. The solution needed to be secure, efficient and available to a broad
cross section of GPs. Mirramail was able to provide a secure and flexible
solution that allowed all the relevant healthcare professionals to send and receive
the necessary documents via email in a secure and easy-to-use package.
In this particular case, the hospital subscribed to Mirramail for all the relevant
health professionals allowing them to send the necessary documents to each patient's
GP or other healthcare specialist in a secure email encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption.
At the other end, each GP used Mirramail to decrypt the received mail. In
some cases they continued using their normal email program such as Outlook or Outlook
Express but the vast majority preferred to use Mirramail exclusively for all their
email as it was easy-to-use and provided a better level of security for all their
stored emails. This was a significant advantage to ensure that the stored
messages that contained patient's personal information could not be accessed by
unauthorized parties.
But the real benefit of Mirramail was it's ease-of-use, that made sending a secure
email as simple as sending a normal email.
Allowing clients to access their financial data online is commonplace and the security
systems provided by financial institutions is excellent. However, the growing
number of scams or phishing exploits to gain access to the user name and passwords
of financial institutions clients is the biggest weakness in an otherwise secure
system. Mirramail can provide a second level of security (two-factor authentication)
that ensures only the authorized client can access their financial information and
conduct transactions.
After the client enters their user name and password to access their account, a
time-limited token is generated, which is then sent automatically to the client's
registered email address using Mirramail to encrypt the message. Because the
email is encrypted, only the intended recipient can decrypt and read the message
to retrieve the secret token. The token is then entered by the client to gain
access to their account. Without the token or after the token's time limit
has expired the client's account cannot be accessed.
This solution works well for clients who want the convenience of online banking
and other financial services without the risk.
