With the number of cases of identity theft at an all time high, it is important to take every precaution necessary to protect the confidentiality of your clients and yourself. The Federal Trade Commission reported that, "1 in 6 Americans will be a victim of identity theft this year alone. In the last twelve months 9.93 million people have had some type of identity theft crime committed against them." Private Information Exchange (PIE) protects against unauthorized access to sensitive information by created secure channels between the sender and receiver. If you request information such as social security numbers or credit card numbers or file attachments which contain such information via email, you run the risk of that data being compromised. Using PIE to send and receive confidential information ensures it stays just that. Confidential.
