Satisfying Privacy Regulations

Satisfying Global Privacy Initiatives with Endpoint Data Protection

With the rise of the global economy, regulatory compliance concerns now extend across borders. More than 50 countries have enacted data protection laws that require organizations in the public and private sectors to safeguard sensitive personal information.

Consequently, as organizations enter new geographic markets, or outsource business processes or suppliers to gain a competitive advantage, they need a holistic solution for complying with the myriad privacy laws around the globe.




The Solution: A Policy-Based Endpoint Data Protection Platform

The new reality of this global regulatory environment places significant burdens on organizations with a multinational presence. For example, the theft of a laptop in one country can trigger a data security breach in another country, leaving an organization subject to multiple noncompliance penalties, each with distinct remediation procedures.

As a result, organizations must provide safeguards for all endpoint data that is at rest or portable on endpoint devices. The policies governing these controls must also be implemented in a robust, manageable, and auditable manner. The GuardianEdge Data Protection Platform provides a unified suite of data protection controls including full disk encryption, removable storage encryption, and user access control for ports and devices all managed and monitored through an easy-to-use administrative console.

This approach to endpoint data protection reduces the cost and complexity of meeting global compliance requirements by providing centralized management, monitoring, and reporting. It also leverages existing infrastructure and business processes to deliver cost-effective and comprehensive security for protected personal information, without forcing organizations to change the way they operate.

By implementing GuardianEdge solutions as part of an integrated system for securing protected data and complying with privacy regulations, organizations can:

  • Reduce the time and cost of complying with privacy regulations
  • Eliminate the customer service costs associated with disclosure of a data breach
  • Minimize the potential for errors that can arise from misaligned or incomplete data protection policies
  • Eliminate the legal liability associated with data breach disclosure
  • Prove that information has not been leaked

This means organizations must not only provide safeguards for all endpoint data that is at rest or portable but the policies governing these controls. And to avoid the cost and complexity that can arise from approaching this challenge as a series of independent projects rather than as an integrated enterprise-wide process must also be implemented in a robust, manageable, and auditable manner. Otherwise, this will place an unnecessary burden on organizations. Also, to ensure compliance with data protection laws, organizations must employ a combination of encryption, access control and other means to prevent the loss of personal data at rest or being ported.

The GuardianEdge Data Protection Platform provides a unified suite of data protection controls including full disk encryption, removable storage encryption, and user access control for ports and devices all managed and monitored through an easy-to-use administrative console. In addition to providing centralized management, monitoring, and reporting, it leverages existing infrastructure and business processes to deliver comprehensive and cost-effective security for protected personal information, without forcing organizations to change the way they operate.
