Email is convenient, but convenience is not security.

When sensitive client data is involved, email introduces risks you cannot reliably control.

Key risks

Most email systems are not truly end-to-end encrypted
Mailboxes are common targets for phishing and account takeover
Messages can be forwarded or sent to the wrong recipient
Attachments are duplicated and retained outside your control

Compliance implications

Regulations such as GDPR require appropriate safeguards for personal data. If your workflow depends on unsecured email attachments, compliance becomes harder and risk increases.

Safer alternatives

Use secure portals and purpose-built encrypted document workflows. You gain better access control, stronger protection, and a more trustworthy client experience.
