Secure Data Solution

Business Value

Through tight integration with desktop, mobile and network devices and applications, the Entrust Secure Data Solution protects sensitive data at rest on PCs/laptops, PDAs, removable media, servers and databases, or 'in transit' via standard Web and file transfer mechanisms. The solution also enables secure electronic forms, reducing the need for inefficient and costly paper-based processes and physical security measures.

With its standards-based security functionality, the Entrust Secure Data Solution offers governments and enterprises a strategic approach to:

Improving regulatory compliance

with encryption, organizations can be one step closer to complying with new security standards and global legislations - such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley and California SB 1386 - that mandate the privacy of client/patient/consumer data
digital signatures provide improved accountability for audit and reporting purposes

Protecting competitive advantage

'end-to-end' encryption protects against data disclosure and unauthorized access and distribution
centralized policy management enables timely and consistent data security enforcement across the user base
ease of use and transparency help to reduce training and Help desk costs, and improves productivity
strong security mitigates the risk of damage to corporate brand and stakeholder trust due to internal and external breaches, data theft, corruption and regulatory fines

Enabling new business

strong security functionality gives organizations the confidence to move their current business processes on-line, and capitalize on greater stakeholder collaboration, improved costs savings and opportunities for increased revenue streams

Streamlining business processes through secure e-Forms

Staying in the cumbersome, costly paper-based world is no longer an option in today's economy. Paper documents are vulnerable to all kinds of interception as they lay on printers, faxes, desks, or even in closed offices and locked filing cabinets.

Electronic creation, storage, and sharing of documents is much more efficient. However, without strong data security, highly sensitive information can be accessed by unauthorized people, easily stolen or lost.

The Entrust Secure Data Solution offers the security capabilities organizations need to confidently turn to electronic forms as a low-cost alternative to traditional paper processes. By identifying electronic forms users, protecting the contents of the forms from 'end-to-end' through encryption, and creating a binding record of accountability using digital signatures, the Entrust Secure Data Solution enables:

greater productivity and more efficient collaboration among employees and external partners through automated and secure data collection and exchange
improved cost savings through simplified processes (keying, exchanging, printing and filing data) and reduced labor costs
accelerated compliance with government regulations on paper reduction, such as the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA)
