This causes me concern due to the fact that if the clients email account gets hacked for any reason and we are sending files or links that are verified with the same account then the hacker also has access to this. When I compare how I send an encrypted link with a password with Google Workspace, the verification code gets sent to the clients email address, the same one that the link has been sent to. We use their Date of Birth or National Insurance Number as an extra layer of authentication We will also password protect the link and let them know that the password is something memorable to them but we do not send the actual password to them as an email. When sharing a file or multiple files with our clients we currently send them an encrypted link through Dropbox. We would like our default operating system for emails, calendars, file storage etc to be our Google Workspace but we have come across a problem when trying to share files with clients that makes it untenable for us. With this in mind we are currently reviewing the software that we use. With cyber crime becoming so sophisticated we need to be doing everything that we can to stop cyber criminals getting access to our clients personal data. We need to send documents to our clients and historically would have always just sent them as an attachment in an email. We are increasingly concerned about cyber security.
