Effective February
2, 2009, Burkhart & Company, P.C. will utilize ZixMail email
encryption software for all emails containing confidential information
such as social security numbers, financial data, bank account numbers,
or any other information deemed sensitive by the client, recipient,
or our firm. This process will eliminate the need for password protection
of individual attachments.
The process is simple and self-explanatory once you receive the
initial encrypted email. When you receive the first encrypted email
from our firm, you will be asked to establish a password that is
connected to your email address. Once you log in to the software,
you will be able to read the email within the encryption portal.
Click here for
specific instructions.
The encryption software is a web-based portal, so your registration
is based on your email address. You will not have to re-register
to receive encrypted emails at different workstations or terminal
locations. We recommend retyping your email and password each time
you enter the software, rather than allowing your computer to automatically
save this information.
Please note that you have two options for replying to an encrypted
email. If you reply within the encrypted portal, your response will
be encrypted as well. If you reply outside of the encrypted portal
(to the initial email from the firm notifying you that you have
an encrypted email), your reply will not be encrypted. Click here for specific instructions.
Please be aware that you cannot initiate a new encrypted email from
your workstation since the licensed software is installed on the
Burkhart & Company network.
Also note that not all emails received from Burkhart & Company
will be encrypted, but only those containing sensitive information.
If you have any questions upon receiving your initial encrypted
email, please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance. We appreciate
your patience as we strive to provide the greatest security possible
to our clients.
