Differences between Safeguard Send Core and Safeguard Send for Microsoft 365
Both Safeguard Send for Microsoft 365 and Safeguard Send Core prevent users from making critical outgoing email mistakes. However, there are also some differences, and the table below helps to clarify what features and limitations are in each version.
In the table below, we refer to Safeguard Send for Microsoft 365, our flagship product, as SS365.
We also refer to Safeguard Send Core as SSC. Note that this is the retail version with no customizations.
Finally, we have a column in the table for SSC with all available customizations. When you request any customizations, that product becomes Safeguard Send Core Plus, or SSCP. SSCP has more options because together, we take your requirements from SS365 and place them into your customized version. If you think about it, there are no retail versions of SSCP. They are always customized versions of SSC.

Notes:
1. With SSC and SSCP if the rule is violated (that is, there are external recipients), the warning prompt is shown and the user decides whether to send or not.
2. With SSCP, multiple rules can be evaluated but there will still be one warning prompt. However, that one warning prompt contains text that explains all rule violations.
3. With SS365, multiple rules can be evaluated but there will still be one warning prompt. That one warning prompt contains text that explains the rule that was violated (rules are evaluated in order).
4. Both SSC and SSCP only show recipient email addresses in the External Recipients Warning prompt and in the Restricted Recipients Warning prompt. SS365 always show recipient email addresses and attachment names.
5. SS365, SSC, and SSCP are purchased via Azure Marketplace and installed by your administrator using Microsoft Admin Center via a manifest file.
6. SSC and SSCP only have a standard Office prompt (but the prompt text is customizable). SS365 is fully customizable HTML. Only the dialog window title is not customizable (not the prompt title, which is customizable in all versions).
7. Further to #6, the warning prompt displays the first 5 external email addresses and then appends “…and others” if necessary – but only in OWA and new Outlook on Windows.
8. SSC (and SSCP) can be changed to catch emails sent with Simple MAPI. See Handle OnMessageSend and OnAppointmentSend events in your Outlook add-in with Smart Alerts – Office Add-ins | Microsoft Learn on how to do this.
