Our office still uses fax for sending contracts and sensitive paperwork. I’ve heard that there can be compliance issues if it’s not handled properly. What should we watch out for?

A common issue is lack of access control—anyone walking past the machine could potentially see incoming documents. Another problem is missing transmission logs, which some regulations require. When our team reviewed our process, we realized how outdated our setup was. I found a really useful overview of these risks on
