MailHippo vs Trustifi Outbound Shield

MailHippo is a secure email messaging platform designed to protect patient data with HIPAA-compliant email. It works with a user's existing email address and provider, and MailHippo says users can begin sending and receiving encrypted messages without setup or configuration. SendSafe provides a personalized URL through which anyone can send an encrypted message to a MailHippo inbox, including people without a subscription. Messages use SSL/TLS 1.2 or higher in transit, while message bodies and attachments are protected with AES-256 encryption at rest; the key ring is also encrypted. Every plan includes a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, and message-access records include the authorized user, date, time, and records accessed. The API supports attachments, CC/BCC, HTML content, and inbound messages through a webhook. Basic costs $4.95 a month per user and Pro costs $7.95 a month per user; both are month-to-month. A 30-day trial is available, and there is no free plan. MailHippo was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Pompano Beach, Florida.

Trustifi Outbound Shield scans outgoing email against administrator policies and encrypts messages containing sensitive information. Its real-time rules can apply encryption even when a sender has not done so manually, and Trustifi says messages use AES-256-bit end-to-end encryption. Recipients can open encrypted messages with one click without a portal login or password. Senders can recall messages, revoke access to attachments, and prevent forwarding. Tokenization replaces sensitive information with random characters while leaving the rest of an email clear. One-Click Compliance checks messages against more than 10 regulatory guidelines; listed examples include HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and PII. Senders can track opens, downloads, and link clicks, while Postmark adds a digital signature described as proof of delivery and reading. A backup system lets users review sent email and send new messages if their email service is down. Integrations include Microsoft Office 365, Exchange on-premise, and Google Workspace. The product is paid, with pricing available on request and no free plan. It is intended for small and mid-size businesses, managed service providers, and regulated industries.
