Agreed.  It's a bad idea.  Why not scp it or another direct connect
transfer. Like put it on a secured website locked down for the receiver
to get to via IP and password.

Yes, it's a bad idea.  Even if it is password, it can be cracked, just a
matter of time.  If managment insists on this course, at least encrypt
it with PGP or S/MIME.
