Overview

Bracket is a service that Mailprotector provides to encrypt emails so that data is protected in transit and at rest. Bracket is compliant with most regulatory bodies. This includes HIPPA, DoD, and many others. Bracket achieves this by encrypting messages with multi-layer AES256 encryption with automatic key rotation.

How to enable Bracket for a domain

Bracket can be enabled for any active domain in the Console. You can enable this during domain setup or later for a specific group of users.

Enable During Domain Setup

To enable Bracket when you set up a domain, you will:

1. Navigate to the Mailprotector Console at https://emailservice.io
2. Click the "Domains" tab while on the Reseller level
   
   
3. Click the "Add Domain" button to create a new customer and domain. 
   

   NOTE: If a customer already exists, you'll create a new domain under that customer.

4. Input the customer name and domain; then, you will toggle on the "Bracket" icon in the "Products" section of the setup page. This will have Bracket enabled for the entire domain once it is created.       
                  
   
   
   

Enable For Domain or Group After Setup

To enable Bracket after a domain is set up, the manager account must have Administrator privileges. Any other role cannot edit services since it creates a significant bill adjustment to the domain.

To enable Bracket after a domain is already set up, you will:

1. Navigate to the Mailprotector Console at https://emailservice.io
2. Navigate to the domain you wish to add Bracket to
3. From the "Overview" page, select "Products"
4. Select the group you wish to add Bracket to
5. Click the Bracket icon 
   
6. Click the "Update" button

This will enable Bracket for the specific group you selected. If multiple groups need Bracket, you can repeat this process for each group.

NOTE: If you need to create a group to apply Bracket to specific users, please see Creating a User Group in the Mailprotector Console
