Encryption is still often broken prior to going out and checked for selected Data Loss Protection concerns.

Again, that is completely incorrect. Email encryption is end-to-end using PKI. Outgoing email is encrypted with the recipient's public key and can only be decrypted with the corresponding private key. The private key is only on the recipient's computer. Nobody else has the private key, thus nobody else can decrypt the email.

You are wrong.

Businesses and government have key management and they do so for these very reasons. They issue the keys you then use, so they have your key.

You don’t work with computers, do you?
