What We Do

PreVeil makes encryption usable for CMMC & ITAR compliance, business and personal use. PreVeil’s encrypted email works with existing apps like Outlook or Gmail, letting users keep their regular email addresses. PreVeil Drive works like DropBox for file sharing, but with far better security. All messages and documents are encrypted end-to-end, which means that no one other than intended recipients can read or scan them—not even PreVeil. PreVeil is designed for both small teams and large enterprises. Visit www.preveil.com to learn more.
