SecureDoc Competitive Checklist


FEATURES WinMagic Data Security Competitor
Checklist
Centralized Management
  • Enterprise class DBMS
  • Communication with Client PCs
  • Unlimited Profiles
  • Centralized Administration
  • SecureDoc Enterprise Server (SES) uses Microsoft SQL Server as its data repository. This ensures our enterprise customers have a scalable DBMS that supports distributed computing, backup functionality, replication and clustering.
  • SES communicates with client-PC's via LAN, over the Internet, intermittent network or even if users do not have network access at all.
  • SecureDoc Enterprise Server (SES) provides centralized administration for client's machines
  • It provides several schemes of centralized deployment, import of user's data from an LDAP directory or Active Directory Service or PKI, remote control of client through encrypted communication, on-line password recovery via Web and more
 
Strong Biometric Support Support for biometrics devices – all at pre-boot. WinMagic’s SecureDoc is the only product to support biometrics at pre-boot. It has been used by the U.S. Department of State in HSPD-12, FIPS 201 compliant projects.  
Strong Access Control with
Multifactor Authentication via
passwords and Hardware Tokens
Pre-boot support for smartcards, USB crypto tokens and PKI. As hardware tokens are gaining popularity, authentication and SSO become more important. WinMagic has delivered smartcard and PKI integration with SecureDoc since 2001 (e.g. to the New Zealand government).  
Trusted Platform Module(TPM) Support SecureDoc supports TPM security chip at boot time. The TPM chip is embedded in newer laptops.  
Interoperability with imaging software. SecureDoc interoperates with Ghost, Drive Image, Rapid Deploy, BootWorks, Rapid Restore and Rescue & Recovery. This significantly enhances the deployment capabilities within large organizations.  
Virus Recovery User is able to recover data even if the disk is infected by viruses. The recovery software works as if the disk is not encrypted.  
Compatible with various boot managers. SecureDoc is compatible with various boot managers. These include Boot Magic, Boot-US and Windows boot manager. SecureDoc supports systems that have multiple operating systems (multi-boot).  
Compatible with Partitioning Software Managers. SecureDoc operates with partitioning software such as Partition Magic. Encrypted disk partitions can be resized; partitions can be added or deleted as if the disk is not encrypted.  
Compatible with VMWARE. SecureDoc works with VMWare "out of the box".  
Supports Hibernation Mode SecureDoc protects data in hibernation mode.  
Supports removable media SecureDoc supports removable media (USB memory sticks, SD cards, ZIP, JAZ, etc.): Administrators can configure SecureDoc in order to:
  1. Disable all removable media access
  2. Allow read-only access if the removable media is not encrypted
  3. Allow access only if the removable media is encrypted (with pre-defined keys etc.).
 
Power Out Protection Robust capabilities that allow the initial encryption (conversion) to be interrupted by a power outage without data loss.  
Large Disk Support Support disks as large as 2 Terabytes and an unlimited number of partitions. Furthermore, different partitions can be encrypted with different keys, e.g. for sharing.  
Magneto Drive Support Support for encryption of Magneto Optical drives. Even though the removable Magneto Optical drives are most popular in Asia, the technology to support drives with sector sizes different than 512 bytes show the thoroughness and the modularity of the SecureDoc software design.  
Support for RAID controllers SecureDoc can be used in a server environment with RAID controllers.  
Full Disk Encryption Encryption of the entire disk, not only partitions. A test at Network Computing showed that users can add partitions and SecureDoc automatically encrypts them.  
Compartmental Encryption Version Divides the disk into compartments, encrypted by different cryptographic keys. The separation is so strong that a virus in one compartment will not affect the other compartments.  
Robust encryption User can run defragmentation tool during the initial conversion or at any point once the disk is encrypted.  
Support of SHA-2 WinMagic has used the more advanced SHA-2 with SecureDoc V4 since early 2005  
FIPS 140-2 Level 2
(Certificate # 698)
WinMagic is the only Software Encryption vendor on the planet to offer this level of protection.
