Re: Question about confidential data in emails.

I'm not sure if we have a policy for this.
My personal opinion is that such mail should be rejected.  You should refuse to receive confidential data via 
unencrypted email.

Subject: [SECURITY] Question about confidential data in emails.

Looking for some guidance in dealing with confidential data in email.

How do you handle when outside entities send confidential data via email and that email needs to be retained and if 
not, then how is it securely deleted? Saving an email out of an O365 mailbox and deleting an email may not securely 
remove the mail in all forms that Microsoft stores that email in the mailbox. Scrubbing the info from inside an email 
may not fully scrub it.   Just wondering if there are any procedures anyone uses to securely redact/scrub content from 
an email and procedures for handling when confidential data is sent from an outside entity?

Thank you,
Sherry
