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 with existing Intermedia email infrastructure will see the fastest ROI from Intermedia Email Encryption, since it integrates directly into Microsoft 365 and Intermedia Email Plus without requiring separate gateways or plugins. HIPAA compliance is built in with pre-templated PHI detection rules, cutting weeks of policy configuration for healthcare and finance buyers. Skip this if your organization needs granular threat detection alongside encryption; this tool prioritizes policy enforcement and key management over sandboxing or advanced threat analysis.
