PT Report delivery (caveats)

Hi

I'm interested in the group's feedback on the most accepted way to deliver a final PT report to a client. Best practices indicate that reports are only sent to a select group of people in each of the Red/White/blue teams, and docs are sent via encrypted email and/or the document itself encrypted with public/private keys exchanged at the start of the engagement. I've even heard that sending electronic copies of the report is a no-no and only a hardcopy should be couried. Could someone weight in on caveats and/or industry standards for report delivery?

Also how would report delivery best practices from an internal pesting team differ (if at all) from that of a third party consulting outfit.

Many thanks.
