Trinity Email Encryption

If you have a Trinity email, it now includes encryption features that let you share your confidential and personal information while ensuring that your email message stays encrypted and doesn’t leave Microsoft 365. This is useful when you don’t trust the recipient’s email provider to be secure. No pre-registration or extra software is required.

How do I send a secure email with Office 365 Message Encryption?

Your message will be encrypted by simply putting the word Confidential in the subject line of your Trinity email. Encryption can also be activated by selecting the Encrypt function from the Outlook Mail client or Office 365 Outlook on the web. See below for details.

** NOTE:

  • The subject line of the email is not encrypted; therefore, you should not include sensitive information in the subject line of the email.
  • If sending to someone outside the Trinity domain without an @trincoll email, they may have to register the first time he/she uses the encryption service. You may want to send a message informing them that an encrypted message is coming. A sample of a secure email notification is available below.
