Welcome to Smuggle Me

This last week I had been working with the insurance company to figure out how to send them a list of eligible students. Well, because the list contains social security numbers and things like that I couldn’t just send it in an email as is. I ended up creating a whole server and teaching them how to use SFTP to get the file. What a pain that was. Over email it took them 5 days to finally figure out how to get the file. I guess they don’t have a tech person on their staff.

Today I came across a much better solution for my problem. It uses document security with built-in protections to maintain the integrity of your data and to make it virtually tamper-proof. It looks like this type of document security was originally designed for CAD files, but I could see some major markets in the healthcare industry. This type of security is essential whenever you have to send something with PHI inside of it. Time to give it a try.
