Over in the Office 365 Community Group on LinkedIn one of the members just made me aware of a product that encrypts data in Office 365. The product is called Vaultive as a Service for 365 and it seemingly works by passing all content through it’s service on the way to Office 365. As it passes through it gets encrypted and as it passes back gets decrypted. Sounds pretty useful, especially in the current climate where the US government are about to make it law that they can get their hands on data managed by a US company regardless of which country it’s stored within.
Would a solution like this mitigate the worries and risks of governments being able to get data? Has anyone use an encryption service like this and what is the performance like? Does it also work with SharePoint or is it a pure email solution?
Please share your thoughts.
Happy Holidays! I came across this discussion.It’s my first time hear about Vaulitive’s products. Thanks for sharing the information. As you mentioned encrypting the data in SharePoint, you may also want to check NextLabs microsoft-sharepoint product (http://www.nextlabs.com/html/?q=microsoft-sharepoint). It provides encryption to documents/files uploaded to SharePoint Online, and On-premises.
