Pros

    Paubox

    Paubox is a HIPAA compliant email security platform designed for healthcare organizations. It provides outbound email encryption and AI-powered inbound email protection, helping organizations safeguard protected health information (PHI) without changing how staff or patients use email. Email remains a critical communication tool in healthcare, but standard platforms like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 are not HIPAA compliant on their own.
