Faxes are incredibly secure when it comes to sending sensitive documents, many legal documents are required to have a signature and even hard copies kept, making Faxes an ideal solution. This is especially true when it comes to contracts, which require an authorised signature or company stamp to deem them as valid.

Why would you need a fax when you have emails, right?… Wrong…

With any confidential information it is imperative that this information is kept secure. Emails can be affected by hacking and fraudulent activity, even with many safe guards put in place it is possible for criminals to hack into companies’ emails and gain full access to all the information. With the ability to send fraudulent emails from the accounts they have hacked. This can be seen by large corporate companies that have become victims of this crime.

Whether using the traditional fax machine or via the internet (fax to email), messages are transmitted through a telephone line – this means that the criminals would need to know the exact time in which the fax was sent to be able to obtain any information. Due to this, it still means faxes are one of the most secure ways to send classified documentation and due to the improbability of a faxed document being tampered with during its transmission means that its authenticity is hardly ever questioned.
