Frequently asked questions
We’ve got your back with answers to some of our frequently asked Digital Mailroom questions.
How does Iron Mountain make sure that mail is routed to the correct recipients?
Each user is assigned to a user group, and user groups combine with data security rules to ensure that mail is properly routed to the correct people. Iron Mountain’s Implementation team ensures that the proper roles and security are in place for your organisation to maintain data security and privacy.
Who can access my mail?
Iron Mountain’s Implementation team meets with your organisation to learn how your organisation wishes to handle mail: by department, floor, individual, etc.
Iron Mountain then sets up your users, user groups and data security rules to ensure that the proper people have access to the mail. Many organisations also have an administrator who can update this hierarchy if, for example, you are out of office, and need your mail temporarily rerouted.
