Office Worker Secure Sharing

Most office incidents are preventable. Use structured steps instead of ad-hoc sharing.

Before sending

  • Confirm recipient list and remove unnecessary CCs.
  • Confirm document purpose and remove extra pages.
  • Scrub with /scrub, then open the output and verify content.

During sending

  • Prefer direct secure channels over public links.
  • Add expiry and access limits when using portals.
  • Keep subject lines neutral and non-identifying.

What this does not protect

  • Data copied into email body text.
  • Misconfigured permissions in external sharing tools.
  • Existing logs in enterprise tools you do not control.

Next safe steps

  • Read /security/non-technical/safe-pdf-handling-basics.
  • Read /faq/account-and-privacy/what-data-do-you-store-for-accounts.
Next safe step: scrub a PDF locally, open FAQ Hub, and review defensive-only policy.
