Paubox review

Paubox is a specialist for healthcare, where email security has to cover HIPAA as well as phishing. Its Plus plan, the entry point for inbound protection, costs $65 per month billed annually for up to five senders. Plus filters inbound mail for spam, ransomware and phishing, adds malware and virus scanning, and uses ExecProtect+ to stop display name spoofing of practice leaders. It keeps the core of every Paubox plan: outbound email is encrypted automatically and recipients read it without a portal or password, which patients appreciate. Paubox works with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, includes a business associate agreement, is HITRUST certified and offers US-based support. Premium, at $75, adds archiving and data loss prevention. The limits are scope and scale: it is not built for behavioral BEC detection in large organizations, and sender-based pricing climbs as headcount grows. For a clinic or a health tech vendor that needs compliant encryption and decent inbound filtering from one provider, it fits well.
