Body
Email Encryption is a process that helps ensure the confidentiality of the contents of email and protects information from being stolen or accessed by unintended recipients. This process temporarily converts sensitive data, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), into unreadable code so that it can be safely transmitted over mail, preventing unauthorized access.
PII includes full or partial social security numbers, driver’s license/government ID numbers, and financial information such as bank account, credit, and debit card numbers. If you send an unencrypted email from your PGCC email account that includes PII, the sensitive information will be blocked from viewing in both the body of the email and in the email attachments.
This knowledge article demonstrates how to send encrypted (secured) PGCC emails.
Step 1
Type [pgccsecure] in the Subject line of the email you plan to encrypt. NOTE: Include the opening and closing brackets around the word pgccsecure.
Step 2
Click Send after composing the message.
