Episode 305: [Tech Tips] What’s the Deal with Google’s new “Client Side Encryption” for Gmail?

Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we dig into Google’s new email feature, client side encryption within Google Workspace.

We discuss what client side encryption really is; who will have access to this new feature; whether it meets the application needs for mental health group practices; TLS, or transport layer security; what to have in place with clients before sending email; and email best practices to keep everything HIPAA hunky dory.
