VCU - Technology Services

The Internet is littered with countless stories of individuals who sent emails they shouldn't have or sent emails to unintended recipients. Before you send an email, ensure that it's only going to go to the intended recipients and think twice about sending it if it could have a negative impact if it was read by an unintended recipient.

And if you are planning on sharing confidential VCU data with someone via email be sure to encrypt it or to utilize a different secure method to share it instead. VCU's Securty Standard for Transmission of Confidential Data Through Email prohibits transmission of confidential data via email unless it's encrypted.
