Uploading a Financial PDF: 5 Questions to Ask First

1. Name the single question the recipient is trying to answer.
2. Identify the smallest set of pages that answers it, and send only those.
3. Ask who inside the organization can open the file.
4. Ask how long it is kept, and whether a written retention and disposal policy exists.
5. Ask whether it is encrypted in transit, and what method the recipient prefers.
6. Ask what deletion removes, remembering that a standard delete may leave data on a drive.
7. Redact what the question does not require, then save your own dated copy of what you sent.
