HIPAA-Compliant Email, Simplified
HIPAA’s Security Rule (45 CFR §164.312(e)(1)) requires that electronic protected health information (ePHI) be safeguarded during transmission. Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace encrypt emails at rest, but only attempt TLS encryption during delivery — if the recipient's server doesn’t support it, the email may go out unencrypted.
Trustifi Outbound Shield — available through visuaFUSION — solves this with forced TLS encryption and a secure fallback portal. AI-based PHI detection automatically applies the right encryption, and takeover protection is included to secure Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environments.
Real Savings, Simple Math
Switching to Trustifi through visuaFUSION saves small healthcare organizations around $3,360 annually based on 100 users — and even more for larger teams.
| Provider | Monthly Cost/User |
|---|---|
| Trustifi (visuaFUSION) | $3.20 |
| Trustifi (other partners) | $3.52 |
| Zix | $3.83 |
| Paubox | $6.00 |
* Pricing based on actual client implementations. Availability may vary.
Real-World Example
For a typical small health care organization with 150 users, switching to visuaFUSION’s Outbound Shield email protection saves between $1,100 and $5,040 per year compared to common solutions like Zix and Paubox.
These are real numbers based on actual client migrations and pricing comparisons.
