too many steps-1

Inbound security that needs constant babysitting

Mimecast's inbound filtering requires ongoing policy tuning and admin oversight to work correctly.

unreliable encryption-1

"Click to encrypt" is a compliance gap

Mimecast encryption depends on staff remembering to click "Send Secure". When someone forgets, PHI goes out in plain text. Conditional encryption is a compliance gap waiting to happen.

too many steps-1

Enterprise complexity, healthcare budget

Most healthcare IT teams don't have a dedicated email security admin. They shouldn't need one. Mimecast complexity shows up in the daily overhead: policy tuning, nested console settings, and features you're paying for but never touch.

Stop managing encryption. Start sending compliant email.
