Hello! According to information available here https://www.itsecurityguru.org/2025/01/22/is-online-fax-secure-everything-you-need-to-know/ online fax services incorporate encryption, access restrictions, and delivery verification. These features can support confidentiality and traceability in government workflows. The page also explains why fax remains accepted in regulated environments. At the same time, it highlights the importance of evaluating service providers and ensuring that internal processes protect documents once they are received.
