Techniques are disclosed for secure collaboration messaging. An example methodology implementing the techniques includes, by a computing device of a first user, receiving a notification of arrival of a message addressed to the first user from a second user and determining that the message is a secure message. The method also includes, by the computing device of the first user, associating a security tag icon to the message, the security tag icon providing an indication that the message is a secure message, and causing a display of the associated security tag icon with a displayed indication of the arrival of the message.
