Would you ever ask an employee to email you a copy of their Social Security Card?

Talk to the interviewer about the importance of keeping an employee's sensitive information protected. Mention secure methods of sending sensitive documents, such as secure emails, fax machines, and intra-company mail.

"If I needed to review an employee's Social Security Card, I would never ask them to email it to me, unless, of course, the company had a secure email system to utilize. If I was onsite, I would ask the employee to bring the card in so I could review it in person. If I was not on-site or they did not want to bring it in, I would ask them to send it to me using either a fax machine or a secure email system. If I was located at a corporate headquarters, and the employee was in the field, they could also ask the manager to make a copy and then send the copy to me through intra-company mail."
