The hidden work in DIY compliance

too many steps-1

Compliance becomes your project

Zoho hands you the configuration, marking ePHI fields, setting encryption rules, managing audit logs, and the responsibility to keep it right.

unreliable encryption-1

Platform migration, first

Zoho puts your team on new mailboxes, so getting compliant starts with moving your email off Gmail or Outlook.

Thin support when you need it

Zoho Mail's support is its lowest-rated area on G2 (6.0/10), and reviewers flag limited storage and a laggy mobile app.

Compliance from day one
