Safely transferring sensitive information
-
Hi everyone,
I have a non profit client that asked me yesterday about sending/receiving sensitive information (SS numbers for example).
Currently when they're looking for volunteers data is sent from the volunteer's email address to an employees account (in charge of finding volunteers & using Google Workplace account) and then to the director's email address (Again Google Workplace account).
They were looking to implement DocuSign to more securely handle this process but I wanted to see if anyone else had any other recommendations.

@frodooftheshire What's the concern with email?

Boom, this. Email is about the most secure thing you can reasonably use. DocuSign is not likely making things more secure. Why not use email... if email isn't secure enough for you. Probably nothing is.

So once you get the information, it is always encrypted in transit.
Are you wanting to get the initial information from the volunteer in a guaranteed secure format?

DocuSign is for e-signatures which doesn't sound like what is needed.
How about a secure form app? Sound like it would get the job done much better than email. Formstack for example seems like a good example, I'm sure there are plenty to pick from.
Non-profits often have different pricing as well.
