Putting people first: Exploring people-centric email security

In today's digital age, email is essential for businesses and individuals. However, the rise in data breaches highlights the need for stronger security. While technology has advanced, human error remains a vulnerability. Traditional solutions focus on technology rather than the individuals who handle sensitive data.

On this page, we'll explore people-centric email security and its crucial role in safeguarding confidential information. We'll uncover the limitations of traditional security measures and emphasize the importance of prioritizing people in your data security strategy, empowering employees as the first line of defense against data breaches.

People-centered email security is all about the human factor in ensuring the security of email communications. It recognizes that human error and behavior play an important role in creating security vulnerabilities. It focuses on involving, training, and making users aware so that they can apply security measures correctly.

An essential aspect of human-centric email security is providing easy-to-use and intuitive security solutions. The aim is to lower the threshold for users to take security measures. An example of this is an email encryption platform that is easy to use and integrates seamlessly with existing email clients. In this way, users are enabled to communicate securely without effort and protect sensitive information.
In addition, human-centric email security also includes promoting user awareness and training. Through educational programs, regular updates, and reminders, users are informed about the risks and best practices related to email security. This helps them to recognize suspicious emails, handle attachments securely and not share sensitive information unintentionally.

Putting people at the center of email security seeks to strengthen and involve the human element in the overall security strategy. This helps to reduce the chance of security breaches and protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, both internally and externally.

People make mistakes. A high workload, a bad day or just an inattentive moment. It can happen to anyone.

Sometimes people deliberately bypass security because the system they have to work with is complicated or difficult to use. They look for a detour to save time or just to make something easier.

With people-centric data security you prevent your people from making mistakes themselves and you ensure that they use the security, instead of trying to circumvent difficult software.

SITUATION

For the municipality of Zeist, it was time to find an answer to the question: "Are there no better e-mail solutions on the market?

SOLUTION

With SmartLockr, user-friendliness and secure communication come together: work processes within the municipality are simplified!

SITUATION

VKG handles the administration and claims processing for many insurers and lenders, working with hundreds of consultants; in practice that means a lot of e-mail traffic!

SOLUTION

SITUATION

As market leader in child care, Partou wants to focus all of its energy on providing good care. Protecting a child's data, although not a core staple of any daycare centre, was clearly an important issue.

SITUATION

The Korian Group guarantees qualitative elderly care and currently has 50 locations within the Netherlands, a number that will significantly increase in the coming years.

PROBLEM

Korian has only recently added the Netherlands to their portfolio where secure emailing is not just a ‘nice to have’, but a legal requirement. So, where do you begin?

SOLUTION

"As a system administrator, I was able to experience the onboarding of SmartLockr first-hand. I have previously worked with other software solutions and the SmartLockr experience couldn't be more different: weekly updates by phone, and you think in solutions, not in problems."

SITUATION

Secure emailing is very important to Cedrah, but as a healthcare provider, the email solution was often dependent on other parties.

PROBLEM

At a certain point, sending data securely "required" the use of up to 5 different applications.

SOLUTION

SITUATION

Safety must be ensured at Wender, both in the shelter they provide for vulnerable people, and in protecting the privacy of their clients.

SOLUTION
