To encrypt your email communications in order to protect sensitive information, here are some suggested steps:
- Choose an encryption method – Consider using a secure email program or encrypting messages yourself using PGP.
- Double-check your settings – Make sure your security settings are enabled so that emails sent are automatically encrypted.
- Verify the recipient’s settings – Make sure the recipient has the proper settings enabled to properly decrypt the messages.
- Backup your keys – Create a backup of your encryption keys to ensure access to encrypted emails, should anything happen to the original key.
