Is Online Fax Secure?

August 20, 2020 Posted by Jazz Shaikh

Online faxing is an integral part of your business process automation.  It helps you to completely rid yourself of all traditional telephony infrastructure including fax boards, telephone circuits, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service), long-distance carriers, and fax machines. Apart from convenience, online faxing services commits protection of your and your customer’s private & confidential information, be it for the healthcare sector, financial sector, or any other industry falling under regulatory compliance like Ontario Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA). HIPAA, SOX, GLBA, PCI and FERPA.

Despite numerous benefits, you may be asking, is online fax secure? So, let’s see what security features you should look for in your online fax service:

Data Encryption

Data in online faxing should be transferred through an end-to-end encrypted communication channel until the customer’s browser. And, the server to fax telephony communication should be secured by an end to end HTTPS encrypted secure communication channel.

Privacy

Fax images “at rest” on the fax server and “in transit” should be encrypted with an AES 256 symmetric algorithm so only the user the fax is assigned to, has the key to decrypt and view the fax.

Secured Storage

During the fax-in-transit period, all fax image data should reside in temporary data storage and should remain encrypted preventing even your service provider from observing the contents of the fax image/content. The faxes can be deleted as within 24 hours after the receipt of the faxes has been confirmed and if any data is stored in servers for any period.

Access Control

The customer’s data should only accessible to authorized owners of the data. The files are AES256 bit encrypted and can only be accessed by the user upon a valid login. All connections to the portal during login are SSL encrypted.

Security blue

Identity Management

Two-factor authentication should be built into the fax server application as a core service. Users should be enabled to authenticate their accounts using Google Authenticator/Authy or email. And, one may log into the online fax service with your account in Azure AD, Microsoft Account, LinkedIn, Google, Twitter, and Facebook. For the Azure AD environment, user registration should be allowed to eliminate the need to sync users between AD and your faxing service daily.

Anti-Spam

There should be built-in Captcha service available, when enabled, operates as another layer to reduce spam by bots.

Cloud Security

The online fax service providers should be hosted on Microsoft Azure infrastructure which has achieved SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, and SOC 3 certifications and is fully compliant with Service Organization Controls (SOC) standards for operational security.
