According to a 2012 study by the German interior ministry, email is the most popular communication technology and is used by 98% of SMEs. But, only 18% of SMEs actually encrypt their emails. Since Edward Snowden’s revelations however, this number has changed dramatically. A recent study from QSC and techconsult indicates that now nearly two thirds of SMEs have installed some kind of encryption technology. Despite this rapid increase in encryption technologies, only half of the employees actually bother to encrypt emails. This means that most encryption solutions are client based and the responsibility for encrypting emails lies solely with the end user – a risky business in the light of compliance conformance where the directors are personally liable.
