Secure faxing for accountants

[JonesJameson]

Hello! Accountants often share tax documents and financial statements, which require confidentiality. I want to know if online fax is a reliable option and what security practices are recommended for this profession.

Hello! I found clarification in this article https://www.itsecurityguru.org/2025/01/22/is-online-fax-secure-everything-you-need-to-know/ It explains that online fax platforms typically use encryption, controlled access, and delivery verification to protect sensitive documents. For accountants, this reduces the risk of misdelivery and supports audit requirements. The article also advises reviewing provider policies, limiting document retention, and monitoring user activity to maintain effective security.
