CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Teams managing Gmail across startups and mid-market companies need CloudMask Secure Gmail if Gmail's native encryption doesn't satisfy your data residency or key control requirements; the tool keeps encryption keys entirely out of CloudMask's hands, which matters for regulated industries where Google's infrastructure alone won't pass audit. The user-controlled key model aligns with NIST CSF 2.0 Data Security principles by giving you genuine confidentiality control rather than relying on vendor promises. Skip this if your organization needs encryption across multiple email providers or requires formal key escrow for recovery scenarios; CloudMask is Gmail-only and doesn't solve for employees using Outlook or on-premises Exchange.
Mid-market and enterprise teams protecting sensitive data in Microsoft 365 should choose Egress Protect for its post-send message control, which lets you revoke access and restrict forwarding even after recipients open encrypted email. The tool covers three NIST CSF 2.0 functions (PR.DS, PR.AA, DE.CM), with particular strength in access enforcement through granular controls and continuous audit trails that satisfy compliance auditors. Skip this if you need unified DLP across cloud storage, web, and endpoints; Egress Protect is email-centric and won't replace a platform-wide data loss prevention strategy.
