Why each option
Sending customer PII requires a secure method to protect the data in transit. Encrypted email provides a secure, auditable, and traceable way to transmit sensitive information digitally.
Encrypted email protects Personally Identifiable Information (PII) during transmission by scrambling the content, making it unreadable to unauthorized parties. This method ensures confidentiality and can often be tracked and audited, which is crucial for compliance when handling sensitive data.
A flash drive is a physical medium that can be easily lost or stolen, posing a high risk of PII exposure.
ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is a standard API for accessing database management systems and is not a direct medium for sending PII to an outside entity.
Courier service is a physical transfer method that lacks the immediate digital security controls and audit trails of encrypted digital transmission.
