Gmail Client-Side Encryption Arrives in Beta Form for Businesses

CSE lets organizations use their own encryption key and encrypt data before it’s sent to Google’s servers.

The beta is available only for Google Workspace Enterprise Plus, Education Plus and Education Standard customers.

The email header, timestamps and recipient list won’t be encrypted.

Encrypted email is especially handy for companies that want communications to be secure and safe from outside eyes.

TheGoogle Support Center pageis accepting beta applications until Jan. 20, 2023.

This feature is currently being tested on Gmail for web, not mobile.

Last year, Google introduced encryption to Google Docs, Sheets and Slides for businesses.
