Data Loss Prevention
Introduction
You need to know what information is passing from your organisation to the outside world. When you know what that information is you need an effective system to allow you to take control. Through the combination of reporting, blocking and alerting a DLP solution from Firstwave will change you email system from a black hole to controlled part of your communications strategy.
Firstwave’s Data Loss Prevention solution adds to the already strong email content control tools by adding the ability to track specific files, type of files or types of data as it leaves your organisation.
How does it work
Because all outbound email can be scanned by the Firstwave platform before it is sent to its final destination we have a unique opportunity to monitor for any specific content that you want to be sure is not leaking from your organisation. This maybe something as common as scanning for credit card details to help with PCI compliance or as bespoke as a search for documents regarding a proposed acquisition.
The scanning engine can look not only at the text of an email but into attached documents to ensure you are not unwittingly loosing key information from an internal source whether deliberately or not.
The benefits
- Protection from litigation resulting from data loss
- Keeps your confidential information confidential
- Changes made offer almost instant protection
- Simple to implement and monitor through an online portal
