PAUBOX VS GOOGLE WORKSPACE

Google Workspace alone won't make your email HIPAA compliant

Google Workspace gives you email. Paubox makes it compliant. Without Paubox, outbound messages can go out unencrypted, patients get stuck in portals, and inbound security misses threats built for healthcare.

What Google Workspace leaves open

unreliable encryption-1

No encryption, no compliance

Google Workspace prioritizes delivery over compliance. If a TLS connection can't be made, Google may send the email in plain text, unencrypted.

too many steps-1

Portals that patients can't use

Google's Client Side Encryption requires recipients to create Google accounts, navigate portals, or manage one-time links that often fail.

compliance not included-1

Gaps in communication

Google filters spam and known threats using domain reputation signals like DMARC, SPF, and DKIM. These catch bulk attacks, not the sophisticated, targeted phishing campaigns increasingly aimed at healthcare.
