Sikker mail (secure email) means that the email you send is encrypted and signed. Sikker mail is intended for sending emails which contain confidential information and sensitive personal data. The encryption ensures that only the recipient can read the email. If the email ends up in the wrong hands, it will be unreadable. The signature ensures that the sender is the person he/she claims to be, and that the content is the same as when it left the sender.
This method is relevant for people who need to send secure emails from time to time. This solution makes it possible for you to send secure emails from your personal mailbox.
How to send a secure email from your own mailbox:
The recipient will now receive an SMS code and an email with a link which can be used to read the email. The recipient can respond securely to the email and can add files to the email response.

If the people in your unit need to send secure emails frequently or more people work together and need to send secure emails, we recommend that you use a shared mailbox with a security certificate. You can use this shared mailbox to send and receive secure emails. It will also be possible for each person to send secure emails from his/her personal mailbox.
Your local IT support team can help set up a shared mailbox with a security certificate.
