PGP also offers an ADK - Additional Decryption Key, which can also be
split, so that one individual doesn't have the sole power to decrypt.
The ADK enables encrypted data, emails or othewise to be decrypted.

That has got to be one of the worst shameless plugs I've seen in a
while. Instead of spreading untruths about other products why not just
tell us why yours is better?
The corporate versions of PGP have full control over keys so that you
can add/remove/revoke etc. There are also PKI services that will give
you the same kind of capabilities with S/MIME.
If I was the person asking for help I'd be sure to strike your company
off the list.

P.S. Oh yeah, "Why would you install software in a company that breaks
laws, and cripples the company, legally?" I can't think of anyone who
would want to do this. If that's your gimmick you might find that
calling your potential customers stupid doesn't work so well.

Why would you install software in a company that breaks laws, and
cripples the company, legally?

S/MIME and PGP lock company data into the hands of individuals -
definitely bad news!
Voltage isn't much better.

Problems occur when staff leave but don't unlock their data,
password/key changes means older emails are not accessible anymore and
blackmail opportunities et al are created by using such software.

Consider Key2Mail instead - provided the requested functionality, and
allows the company to meet the law.
