Encrypted E-mail
Making it easier for you to communicate sensitive information to SACU by e-mail

SACU now has encrypted e-mail to make it safer for us to use e-mail to exchange your sensitive information. Through Cisco, our provider, we electronically scramble the message and use a key to “unlock” the information so only you can read it. A benefit is that when you reply to an encrypted SACU e-mail, your reply will be automatically protected through the encryption process. Having this secure method of transmitting information will make it easier for us to do business together in the future without worrying about our documents being viewed by unauthorized parties. There is no cost to you for using this service.

The first time you receive an encrypted e-mail from SACU, you will also receive an e-mail with details about setting up an account, including the SACU Encrypted E-mail Quick Start Guide. If you want to download the guide from SACU's Web site, please click here.

To access encrypted e-mail:
1) You will need to set up an account with Cisco so that you can open the SACU encrypted e-mail. After the account is set up, you will only need to enter your password to open future encrypted e-mail envelopes. Note: neither SACU nor Cisco will use your personal contact information for any other purpose than to activate your account.
2) Review the SACU Encrypted E-mail Quick Start Guide.
3) If you have additional questions, access Cisco's user support by clicking on the link at the bottom of the Registered Envelope that you received. You also can e-mail Cisco's customer support at info@res.cisco.com or call 1-866-412-6113.
