Can you encrypt the subject line of an email?
It is not practical to encrypt the Subject Line of an email message. Therefore, any E-mail messages that contain PHI or SSN in the Subject Line will be rejected and returned to the sender. You will need to remove this information from the subject line and resend the message.
Do you need to encrypt a Zix message?
Messages sent internally, to colleagues, do not need to be encrypted. If there is a chance that your message will be forwarded to someone outside Northwell Health, please encrypt the message. Messages sent to external recipients who also happen to be using Zix, will be encrypted and decrypted transparently, meaning the recipient will see the message in their Inbox and will not need to use the portal. Hundreds of organizations Northwell Health communicates with are Zix clients, and there are over 30 million users in the ZixDirectory.
