Emails that contain sensitive information such as SSNs or credit card numbers will be automatically encrypted. You will receive an email alert if you attempt to send an email containing sensitive information without encryption.
To avoid, this, manually encrypt an email using the steps below.
- Create a new email in Outlook. Click the Options tab and select Encrypt->Encrypt-Only.
The recipient will receive an email with instructions for viewing the encrypted email. Usually, they will need to click a link in the email then follow the instructions.
