Encrypting specific folders

appiRich

Good afternoon.

How do i go about encrypting at the folder level?

We don't want to encrypt the entire volume and i can't see where in the policies to configure it.

Thanks

Rich

    Hi Hani,

    So bare in mind - while we have set file share up here we havent tried emailing files for it yet so you might have different experiences.

    I have tried dragging and dropping a file to the route of C: and its decrypting the files for us as well. I presume this must be some sort of fail safe? Certainly when moving it anywhere else it stays encrypted. Reasuringly you can move files if you dont have the encryption key in your key ring. Otherwise that would be a massive security hole!

    I get the feeling file share was mainly designed for network shares as opposed to any form of information protection enforcement. Its certainly not mentioned in their best practices: https://sophserv.sophos.com/repo_kb/114307/file/114307_sgn_60_bpg_eng_file_share_best_practice.pdf

    At some point I need to look at the Sophos Outlook Add-in - I will let you know how I get on. It may be worth having a look yourself: https://www.sophos.com/en-us/medialibrary/PDFs/documentation/outlookplugin.pdf?la=en.pdf

    With regards to passphrases for individual keys. You should be able to set them by right clicking on the Safegaurd icon in the system tray and selecting "Change Media Passphrase."
