I think the &quot;work-around&quot; that we've decided to put in place is link an electronic fax number (eFax) to an Exchange public folder, where the folder will be monitored and those documents will be uploaded into our system once received. It's tough to look past the issues of security/encryption on the local drives and email system on devices that are out of our own control.

Hello Experts! Hoping that someone out there can help solve an issue that we're facing. Here it goes:<br />
<br />
We have consultants out in the field that need to get hard copies of paperwork into our system, but aren't allowed to scan them to their local drives to email. We've considered setting up an electronic fax line for them to send the documents to (that goes into a bit-bucket email address or public folder), but we don't want to have to monitor this account for their files and many of them could be urgent that need to get loaded into our system. The documents that they are dealing with are sensitive in nature and we can't think of any other way to get these hard copies uploaded in some way that is secure.<br />
<br />
Ideas?

Physical paper uploaded in a secure manner?

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.

Remote Access

A consultant is a professional who provides professional or expert advice in a particular area such as security (electronic or physical), management, education, accountancy, law, human resources, marketing and public relations, finance, engineering, science or any of many other specialized fields.
