Russ Beinder, CTO at FileHold, commented on the security of Courier: “Email is an insecure method of sending documents. There is no way to know if the documents ever arrived or if attachments were even opened by a recipient. Emails are relayed through multiple public servers before they reach their destination and people are constantly receiving phishing and malware emails that look legitimate. With Courier, recipients are secure in knowing they are accessing legitimate, purposeful documents. A reporting feature in FileHold monitors all transactions and reports when / if the document has been viewed or approved. If the recipient does not view or approve the document by a specified time they can be sent a reminder. When they do view or approve the document, the task is recorded in the FileHold log.
FileHold Courier notifies recipients by email to view a document but does not provide it as an insecure attachment. Instead, Courier transmission recipients actually view the document in a portal that they log into using a secure password. A SSL certificate ensures the recipient’s browser will indicate they are connected to a secure source much like they see when connecting with their bank.”
Larry Oliver, President of FileHold, said, “Courier provides our customers the ability to allow their clients, business partners, suppliers, and employees into the secure FileHold repository to view and respond to documents specific to them. Customers have been asking us for a secure and audited yet simple way to communicate contracts, announcements, agreements, bulletins, and proposals to both a large and small numbers of individuals. Courier comes as a standard feature of FileHold. Transactions are free of charge to anyone who has a FileHold registered user account. There is a small transaction fee to share documents with people who do not have a FileHold user account.
