There are numerous inherent risks in using email to send sensitive files or data. The primary risk is data theft. Most email is sent across the internet in plain text and then subsequently stored in plain text on mail servers and inside email clients. It's when the data is sitting on mail servers and inside email inboxes that it is most at risk. Delivered Secure file exchange eliminates the risk by ensuring that data never travels the internet without being encrypted. Delivered Secure file exchange moves sensitive data out of the inbox and onto our secure servers where it is encrypted during storage and all access to the data is logged for auditing purposes.

No, Delivered Secure does not replace your current email system or Microsoft Outlook. It is a web-based system that uses specialized security processes to enable sending and receiving sensitive files in ways that are safer than using regular email.
Delivered Secure uses email only to send notifications, but it never sends sensitive data through email. You should never send sensitive data through email since not only are most email systems not secure, but emails often pass through other types of systems, like spam filters, archiving servers, or other systems that also are not secure.
