Description:

We would like to request the ability to send S/MIME encrypted emails directly from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This feature is essential for organizations that handle sensitive or confidential information and must comply with strict data protection regulations.

Business Justification:

Currently, Business Central supports basic email functionality, but lacks native support for S/MIME encryption. This limitation poses a challenge for secure communication, especially in industries such as finance, healthcare, and logistics where encrypted email is a compliance requirement.

Requested Capabilities:

• Native support for sending S/MIME encrypted emails from Business Central.
• Integration with certificate management to allow users to select and manage their encryption certificates.
• Compatibility with existing email providers and secure gateways.
• Logging and error handling for encryption-related issues.

Impact:

Implementing this feature would significantly enhance Business Central’s security posture and make it a more viable solution for organizations with high compliance needs. It would also reduce the need for external tools or manual workarounds.
