Send information to other organisations
To send confidential information to other organisations electronically, use a secure transfer mechanism or encryption.
If there is not a secure electronic system available, use encryption software to encrypt confidential information before you send it.
Avoid faxing confidential information. Only fax as a last resort if it is urgent and there is no more secure option available.
