Sending Personal Information to Cartus Securely
Cartus requires you to send any information containing Personal Identifiable • Information (PII) securely. There are many different ways to encrypt e-mail. • Cartus has implemented an e-mail gateway that is compatible with the most popular standards for encrypting e-mail, namely: • TLS • S/MIME • OpenPGP • If you do not have encryption software, Cartus can establish a secure mailbox for you which will allow you to communicate securely. Secure Messenger allows you to read e-mail over a secure web site without installing encryption software or managing encryption keys. With Secure Messenger you will be sent an e-mail prompting you to sign into the web site and read the message. From there you can reply to the message, add attachments and so on. Once you have a Secure Messenger account you can use the web site to send us secure e-mail as well. Secure Messenger will only be used if the gateway knows of no other way to send you an e-mail securely.
