Installing and configuring SmartEncrypt for SharePoint Online

SmartEncrypt for SharePoint Online is a SharePoint app that acts as a "virtual client", enabling administrators to navigate to a SharePoint Online document library and encrypt the contents, which in turn creates and uploads a corresponding encryption rule in the Management Console, ensuring that any new files added to the location will also be automatically encrypted. 

 

1. Install the SmartEncrypt for SharePoint app into your SharePoint tenant

1. Download the SmartEncrypt for SharePoint Online app from the SmartEncrypt Management Console
   
   
2.  Following the instructions as set out in the "Add custom apps" section of https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/use-app-catalog#add-custom-apps, upload the SmartEncrypt SharePoint to the Apps site. 
   
   Note: When reviewing the Enable app panel, ensure that you select the Enable this app and add it to all sites option before  clicking Enable app,  as shown below.
