Corporate Risk Management with Data
and Device Encryption Technologies

Organizations of all sizes and in all industries are being bombarded continually by changing legislative environments.  Laws ranging from Privacy laws (such as PIPEDA or the EU Directive on Privacy), to Data Breach Notification laws (state of California and many others), as well as Sarbanes Oxley and many others are pushing organizations to look closely at their data protection and auditing capabilities. 

Corporate Risk Management is a practice that organizations should be moving towards, regardless of the size or revenue generated.  Proactive management of risks allows for strategic advantage as it forces the identification of potential risks, and strategic planning as to how they will be both mitigated and resolved should such risk come to fruition. 

Data and Device Encryption technologies allow organizations to be proactive against the potential threat of internal and external data breaches, while providing central management and auditing capabilities to prove compliance with regulations.  In the specific case of Data Breach notification laws, it is specifically stipulated that notifications must be provided if there is no proof of encryption – Device Encryption fully mitigates this risk by not only providing full disk encryption of the device, but also the audit logs verifying the encryption and login attempts.
