How to use Secure Email
The Secure Email service is designed for faculty and staff who need to send an email containing personally identifiable information (PII) or sensitive information to a non-Bryant email account.
The University’s Secure Email service is designed as an opt-in service. The service assumes that a Bryant community member can identify whether they need to use the service when sending to a non-Bryant email account. The service will encrypt the sensitive information before releasing it to the non-Bryant account. The receiver will be provided the necessary information to easily decrypt the information.
