A general perception is that emails and data sent via email isn't 100% secure. However, this isn't necessarily the case. The latest industry standard for transporting emails from email server to email server is TLS 1.2, which AutoEntry supports.

If your email server supports TLS 1.2, which is expected as TLS is a long-supported industry standard (since 1999, TLS 1.2 would be the current latest version), the files are encrypted during transfer.

If not, when emails are received, we encrypt them at rest, so they're not sitting in plain text on our storage system. We don't offer or support end-to-end encryption nor can we accept individually encrypted files encrypted by a third-party encryption solution. 

While TLS 1.2 offers a level of security through these international standards, the security and protection of these mails and their contents, doesn't come under AutoEntrys' protection and security until the email/file has been received into our infrastructure. 

As such, if you have any concerns over the security of using email for uploading documents or meeting GDPRs requirements, we recommend you contact your IT department or security manager to confirm if it meets your data security requirements. 

The protection and security of email data doesn't come under AutoEntry's control until it's received by AutoEntry.
