Baylor Secure Messaging
Baylor Secure Messaging provides a secure, encrypted means for communicating confidential information between Baylor and external recipients (non Baylor employees). Baylor confidential information includes, but is not limited to: proprietary research, clinical, academic, administrative, and affiliate information, intellectual property, financial information, employee and student identifiable information, human subject research participants and patient protected health information.
Baylor Secure Messaging is NOT an email system and is NOT intended to replace the current Microsoft Exchange email system. Confidential information is not directly sent to external recipients. Instead, a notification is sent to an external recipient that includes the subject line of the message and a hyperlink to access the contents of the message. The recipient clicks on the hyperlink within the email, which directs them to logon to the Baylor Secure Messaging website (https://bsm.bcm.edu). Once the external recipient successfully logs in, he/she is able to review the message, which is stored within the Baylor network.

Important Reminder
As external users, non-BCM employees cannot send new messages with Baylor Secure Messaging. These external users can only reply to messages that they have received.
