ZixMail
Partners uses ZixMail, a desktop email encryption solution that offers a high level of email security. ZixMail lets users encrypt and decrypt emails and attachments with a single click, rendering any hacked or stolen information indecipherable to anyone outside of the Partners’ Provider Network. ZixMail not only helps safeguard information but also assists to be compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
All email sent from Partners is encrypted. To view encrypted email, individuals and providers should set up their individual profiles in the Zixmail Portal.

Instructions for completing this testing are included within the Trading Partner Agreement.
