 SecureDoc for Retail
An analyst brings home customer data on a thumb drive to work over a weekend. The thumb drive goes missing. Did a data breach occur? Can you prove it didn’t? During an office move, servers containing data regulated by PCI standards are mis-routed. Did the organization just compromise all of their customer data? A new product launch is in the works that will knock the socks off of the competition. How does the marketing department collaborate with the creative agency and three subcontractors without risking exposure of highly confidential plans, schedules and strategy documents on a misplaced laptop or thumb drive? Data breaches in the retail sector have been in the news over and over again in recent years. Retail organizations face some of the greatest challenges when it comes to protection of personal identifiable information (PII) because access to information is so distributed and variable. From a customer relationship standpoint, there is a huge value to pushing customer information out to the point-of-sale or branch; this value is tempered with potentially greater risk as PII becomes distributed. The Payment Card Industry’s (PCI) Data Security Standard specifically dictates when data should be encrypted and ultimately destroyed when no longer needed but the reality is that PCI is only part of the puzzle. The fines levied by the payment card industry for non-compliance pale in comparison to the costs of a customer data breach. Whether it is one of the state-level data breach laws enacted in the United States or Japan’s Personal Information Protection Law, the weight of legislation protecting personal data is increasing. That’s where SecureDoc comes in.SecureDoc gives retail organizations the means to protect customer data reliably and transparently, even across a widely-dispersed user base in a variety of roles. Low total cost of ownership is achieved through transparent deployment and centralized control. Full-disk encryption with pre-boot authentication represents the most secure and complete protection for this sensitive and personal data – making this security work in a complicated retail environment can be radically simplified using biometrics or PKI-based tokens/smartcards. In addition, the ability to synchronize encryption keys, key files, and group files with Active Directory means that authorized users across the retail organization can share customer data with NO PASSWORDS REQUIRED, while keeping the sensitive data fully secure.
