Frequently Asked Questions about Secure Faxing

Expand All | Collapse All

Q: What transport security options does FAXAGE offer for my faxes?

A: The technical details of our transport security depend on the method being used to send and receive faxes via FAXAGE. We support faxing through email, our website and our API. Each is detailed below:

Website faxing - is protected by industry-standard SSL

API faxing - is protected by industry-standard SSL

Email fax receiving - can be secured in one of four ways:

1) There is a 'secure email' option that can be enabled by you. This option sends a link to download your fax via SSL rather than the fax itself.

2) Our email servers are TLS (encrypted email) enabled and will utilize TLS when sending you email if your email server is configured to support TLS connections.

3) You may upload your PGP key into the FAXAGE system. We will then PGP encrypt all faxes we send to you in your email.

4) We support setting a per-user password in the FAXAGE system, which will password protect all emailed fax PDF's.

Email fax sending - can be secured in one of two ways:

1) Our TLS support allows your email server to encrypt outbound faxes being sent to us via email.

2) You may utilize our public PGP key, which is available from public key servers under pgp@faxage.com and is also available for download from within the FAXAGE website after logging in. You can then encrypt your attachments when sending faxes with your email.

For both inbound and outbound email faxing, it is your responsibility to ensure that your email server is appropriately configured to support TLS if server to server transport security is desired. Otherwise, PGP support is also available to encrypt the attachments.

Q: Is my credit card information secure?

A: FAXAGE is fully compliant with current PCI regulations for cardholder information security including encryption via SSL when you give us your credit card information and encryption when the information is stored.

Q: Is FAXAGE compliant with HIPAA, SOX, GLB?

A: Technically, our security measures can comply with HIPAA, SOX and GLB regulatory requirements. In order to fully evaluate our system against your specific needs, we recommend:

2) If the data sheet does not contain sufficient information for your review, Contact FAXAGE Internet Fax and ask for a copy of our System Security Statement

3) Evaluate our security against your controls needs
