HIPAA Compliance for Microsoft365, G Suite, Exchange

Secure Connector
For Your Existing Email

LuxSci's Secure SMTP Connector hooks on to your existing Microsoft365, G Suite, Exchange, or other email hosting service, making your outbound email sending secure and HIPAA compliant.

Some Quasi-Compliant third-party services offer HIPAA Business Associate Agreements, but either lack a HIPAA-complaint email encryption solution (G Suite), or a have relatively poor one (Microsoft). LuxSci fills that gap for you.

LuxSci SecureLine Email Encryption

Secure Connector messages are delivered to LuxSci via SMTP. They are then passed to the proprietary SecureLine^TM encryption engine. SecureLine gathers information from numerous sources to dynamically determine the optimal email encryption method to use for each recipient. The messages are then encrypted and securely delivered.

Everything is automatic and dynamic. The sender does not have to do anything.

SecureLine encrypts your email

Better Security through Isolation

Unlike other SaaS solutions that place all client data in a shared cloud, LuxSci is unique in that it can provide each client with their own dedicated server, cluster, or unique custom deployment. This can be compared to having one's property secured in a moated castle versus a communal camping site. The solution is more reliable, ensures consistency, and vastly improves the overall security of your data.

Dedicated environments are better than shared clouds

Outbound Email Relaying is called "Smart Hosting"

You may need a Secure Connector for smart hosting if:

You use Microsoft 365 or G Suite and need outbound email encryption for HIPAA compliance.
Your ISP will not allow your mail server to send outbound email, or limits the quantity of email that can be sent.
Your Exchange Server cannot send email directly for your organization.
Your outbound email systems do not support SMTP Authentication.
Your IP address(es) have a poor reputation, resulting in your outbound email being considered spam-like by recipients (Are Cloud Servers Bad for Sending Email?)
You need to hide the IP address of your mail server.
You must ensure all outbound email is Archived, or encrypted.
...the reasons go on and on.

G Suite and Microsoft 365

It is simple to configure your G Suite or Microsoft 365 account to send all outbound email through LuxSci for encryption and delivery. All you need is a LuxSci smart hosting account that has users corresponding to all of your Google or Microsoft 365 users. E.g., if you have 100 users in the domain "mydomain.com" in G Suite, then you would get a LuxSci account for "mydomain.com" and setup the same 100 users. Once smart hosting is enabled in Microsoft 365 or Google, all of your outbound email will seamlessly flow through LuxSci—no per-user configuration or changes are needed.

Exchange, postfix, and sendmail smart hosting

If you are not using G Suite or Microsoft 365, then smart hosting works by:

Identify one of your LuxSci users as a "smart hosting" user
Configure exchange, postfix, sendmail, or whatever email system you use to smart host email by authenticating to LuxSci as this user (i.e. using its username and password).
LuxSci then identifies the actual sending user by the "From" address of the message sent.

Alternately, if your sending program does not support SMTP authentication and you have a dedicated solution, you can use our Custom smart hosting service, where we authenticate your user(s) by the IP address from which your email is being sent.

Large Scale Email Sending

Smart hosting users have the same sending limits as other LuxSci business email users — 300 messages/day/user. If a user hits the 300 mark, his sending is suspended until the next day.

Some customers require higher sending limits. LuxSci sales will work with you to define a plan that meets your specific sending requirements.
