 Email security issues and technologies are extremely complicated; however, here we intend to make the salient issues and solutions clearly understandable to all readers.
You may already know that email is not a perfectly secure communication medium; however, it might surprise you to learn just how inherently insecure email can be. Messages thought deleted can still exist in backup folders on remote servers years after being sent. Hackers can read and modify messages in transit, use your usernames and passwords to login to your online services, and steal your identity and critical information!
As the amount of crucial business conducted via email increases, so does the amount of Spam, viruses, hacking, fraud, and other malicious activity. Unless precautions are taken, email can leave you and your business open to escalating security and privacy risks. What are these risks?

Any time you register a domain name, you are required to provide valid contact information for the owner of the domain. This information is published and made publically available in the “WHOIS” database. Anyone can look there to see who owns the domain and to contact the domain owner if necessary.
Private Domain Registration, or WHOIS Masking, or contact privacy, is a service offered by some domain registrars where they will either (a) not publish the domain owner’s contact details, or will (b) publish “masked” details — i.e. details that point to anonymous names and addresses at the registrar.

LuxSci has developed a simple free questionaire that will help us to assess your security and privacy needs and to provide recommendations to you as to the best ways to meet them.

LuxSci has a new Business Associate addendum to its Master Services Agreement that covers medical privacy concerns for all clients that are subject to the HIPAA regulations. This contract addendum is automatically included by reference in the contracts for all new accounts. It is also available to any existing account that would like to have it added to its current contract.
This has been updated again for the 2010 HIPAA HITECH changes. For more information, see HIPAA HITECH Business Associate Agreement and LuxSci Account Requirements.
