Data Encryption

No information security strategy is complete unless data is properly protected at the source where it is stored.
Data encryption secures the confidentiality of sensitive data to address the risks of data leaks and data theft, while also ensuring regulatory compliance.

If you store sensitive data, encryption is essential. Contact us to get started today!

Use Cases for Data Encryption

Prevent Data Breaches

• Physical theft – for data stored on lost or stolen computers, laptops, external drives & USB sticks
• Virtual theft – for data stored on active computers, shared workstations, network storage (including cloud storage services like Dropbox) vulnerable to prying eyes

Protection of Sensitive Information Against Threats 

• Personally Identifiable Information (PII) 
• Electronic Health Records (EHR)
• Credit card data
• Insurance & financial records
• Student information
• Client records & customer databases
• Proprietary information or trade secrets
• Emails
• Chat histories
