Email security and encryption

Protecting your personal data

MPS recognises the importance of protecting individuals’ personal data and the responsibility we all have in ensuring the security of the data we hold. Using a secure email solution provides an added layer of protection to minimise the risk of interception and the misuse of confidential and sensitive information. MPS currently sends external emails using industry standard encryption technology already widely adopted by many organisations and webmail providers.

In April 2015 we introduced further protection measures for the email correspondence we have with our members, representatives and other organisations.

For those of you who are directed to collect your message and any attached documents from MPS through via a secure messaging portal, details of how to do this are shown below.
