Government departments with the .gsi.gov.uk extension (Government Secure
Intranet) can email sensitive data to each other; this includes the
police/prisons. Outside of this system we use secure email. Organisations
have to sign up to secure email and jump through a few hoops to make sure
they have appropriate firewalls etc. Email addresses then have .cjsm.net
(which stands for criminal justice secure mail) on the end.
We are encouraging all our partnership agencies to sign up to it so we can
send each other details of offenders,referrals, appointments etc.
Sheffield City Council. for example, is well on the way to registering
many of its staff, which means we will be able to email social workers,
housing staff etc

[data-protection] Dot Gov email addresses
Sorry for cross posting...
The nhs have nhs mail with which they say clinicians can send sensitive
information securly from NHS mail to NHS mail account.
Does a similar security system exist for .gov email addresses? And how
would you recommend sending sensitive information from a .gov to an nhs
mail account?
Thanks
