Tips for securer email

Quite often we see lists of tips published online, and recently a couple of sources suggested tips for more secure email. Some of these need a little tech to achieve, but why not consider:

  • Disable the auto-fill functionality – the few extra seconds spent finding the correct email address may help prevent a data breach.
  • Restrict email containing attachments – or block it completely.
  • Avoid email if you can – perhaps using a secure shared folder with notifications such as provided by sync.com, SharePoint, etc.
  • Warn before sending messages to external recipients.
  • Warn before using CC:

As always, check with your IT provider before committing to any changes.
