A primary feature of this platform is the safe delivery of sensitive information by secure email. This page is to help people who work with One Education to ensure that they can access secure information they have been sent quickly, and where required to provide advice on how best to configure your own systems to correctly handle the secure emails you are sent.
When you receive a secure email from One Education you will be notified by an email, this email will let you know a message is waiting for you in the Egress system and provide you with a link to access it. Egress requires you to setup a free account, which it uses to ensure that the information is only read by the person the information is sent to. As a result:
One Education will only send sensitive information to individual email accounts, not to shared accounts or email groups.
When you create an Egress account, it should be created using the same email address that you received the notification on.
Access to other Egress users can then be granted to a package upon request from the original sender.
We have created the following guide which can help user who are new to Egress with setting up a new account or demonstrate how to login for users who have already set up an account.
