Encrypted Email
___________________________________

Office email systems today are fast, easy to use, very convenient and used every day to conduct
business with customers and suppliers. However, most PC email systems have limited security
for handling sensitive or confidential information. There is now a good range of encrypted email

systems to buy off-the-shelf that are inexpensive and very secure.

What are the benefi ts?

Protecting personal and commercial data.
A lot of personal, commercial and confi dential
information is still sent using standard email
at increasing risk of criminal interception.
Having your own encrypted email service gives
you the option to send this kind of information
securely, end to end.

Cost effi ciency.
There are now many email encryption services that can be set-up as an extra email address to

add to an existing email server on the office PC network. For a small annual subscription, you
can seriously improve your email security.

Simplicity.
In the recent past email encryption was complicated, but today it is easy. You simply subscribe
to an email encryption service, such as the AVG service, that The Bureau uses and considers is
one of the best, whilst leaving your current email service unchanged.
