Google Apps deliver reliable and secure Web-based office tools for any size business. Powerful, intuitive applications like Gmail and Google Calendar can help employees collaborate more effectively, while reducing the IT costs associated with installing and maintaining servers and software.
Navajo Systems' revolutionary Virtual Private SaaS (VPS) for Gmail and Google Calendar completely eliminates the data regulation restrictions which may apply to corporate data stored in the cloud. VPS allows organizations to adopt these Google applications while ensuring that no regulated information or confidential customer data is stored outside the organization.
VPS for Gmail and Google Calendar allows the organization to take full advantage of all the benefits of these Google apps without regulatory concerns or data security risks. It does this by transparently encrypting sensitive information before it is delivered to Google's servers for storage and processing. Since no emails, appointments or other information are ever stored in plain text, no thefts or leaks of readable emails are possible: anyone accessing the company's Gmail/Calendar accounts from outside the enterprise LAN/WAN, including Google's own employees, will see only encrypted data.
End users remain completely unaware of the background encryption/decryption processes, yet their data is completely unreadable (and therefore meaningless) when stored on Google's servers. Database theft and identity theft become harmless, and regulatory compliance is ensured, as all sensitive data remains undecipherable when transmitted and stored outside the enterprise firewall.
VPS encrypts each email subject and message body before it is delivered to Google's servers for delivery and storage. Likewise, inbound emails to the enterprise are intercepted and encrypted before storage at Google. VPS works with Gmail in conjunction with a mail transfer agent (MTA) to handle the realtime encryption-decryption operations related to outbound and inbound emails.
Complete Gmail and Google Calendar functionality is retained even while all the data is stored encrypted. So, for example, searching through emails or appointments remains available despite the encrypted state of the information. This is accomplished without any modification to the Google applications.
