Proofpoint buries communication with complexity

too many steps-1

Too many steps

It takes an average of six steps to open an encrypted Proofpoint email. Those extra logins and clicks slow patient communication and increase the chance messages get ignored.

unreliable encryption-1

Unreliable encryption

Proofpoint leaves encryption decisions to AI and user input, creating room for error. Sensitive emails can slip through unprotected, turning compliance into a gamble.

compliance not included-1

Compliance not included

Proofpoint doesn’t come with healthcare-first compliance built in. HIPAA protections and HITRUST certification require extra contracts, bolt-ons, and ongoing oversight.

“They thought, 'It can't be as easy as they're making it out to be,' but it was. They were used to going to great lengths to encrypt before, but now the whole process is convenient and simple. That's the gold standard for me.”

– Roxanne Deason, Telehealthdocs Medical Group
