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

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.
