Hollis, NH – New Means Financial Planning today announced Secure Messaging, a significant enhancement to its Web site. Featuring Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypted Web browser sessions, file upload, and user notifications, Secure Messaging enables clients and New Means to exchange private information securely and quickly, similar to conducting an ecommerce transaction with an online vendor. “With the recent surge in hacker activity and identity theft, clients are more concerned than ever about security, but they don’t want to give up the efficiency that online communication enables. They like the new Secure Messaging feature because it allows them to send and receive information instantaneously without the risk of compromising their privacy,” said Sherrill St. Germain, founder and principal of New Means Financial Planning.
