Security and Privacy Controls for Federal
Information Systems and Organizations

NIST 800-53 is FISMA mandated, including:

  • IA-7: Cryptographic Module Authentication
  • SC-12: Cryptographic Key Establishment and Management
  • SC-13: Cryptographic Protection
  • SC-28: Protection of Information at Rest

SecureDoc Enterprise Server can leverage FIPS 140-2 validated SecureDoc Full Disk Encryption or other FIPS 140-2 validated encryption modules such as BitLocker, FileVault 2 and validated Opal SEDs.

SecureDoc Enterprise Server (SES) offers secure cryptographic key management and protection for data-at-rest across endpoints, removable media, files and folders, and workloads running in Virtual or Cloud IaaS environments.

AD Sync integrates SES with Active Directory to deliver user-based policy management and authentication.

SES Management Console and SES Web Console strengthen compliance with a unified, enterprise-wide security view for audit and accountability.
