Our team is debating whether secure fax or encrypted email is the safer option for transferring sensitive documents. What would you recommend?

We had to figure this out when working with banks and legal partners. Honestly, both have advantages. Secure fax is harder to intercept and offers a direct channel, but encrypted email is more convenient for day-to-day communication. In our case, we decided to use fax for highly sensitive files and encrypted email for everything else. That way, we get both security and efficiency. I found a really good comparison on flash3c.com that laid out the pros and cons of each. My takeaway: the “best” option depends on what kinds of documents you handle and how strict your clients’ requirements are.
