Don’t endanger your data or breach the FSA requirements. Secure it with our laptop encryption service.
Data encryption is used in many forms by companies that handle large amounts of sensitive data. The most common form is when you use a credit card over the web. The data provided is encrypted and then decoded by another machine. This means that if anyone intercepted the data, the information would be rendered useless.
This method is also used by companies, including government bodies or banks, which may hold sensitive data on computers or mobile devices such as laptops. Typically the practice involves processing data through a mathematical formula, called an algorithm, into encryption software which then converts data into a language called ciphertext. Following this process the data then requires the user to input their unique credentials before it grants them access to the data.
If a laptop were to go missing, can you be sure that the data held on it would be safe? Encrypting data eliminates the dangers associated with loss or theft, especially when staff has mobile devices, such as laptops loaded with data. The encryption process is fast and does not affect the speed of the laptop or hold up the user in anyway, but it does make data worthless to unauthorised users. Each member of staff will be asked to give unique credentials to access the data on their laptop and, provided those credentials are kept safe, it is virtually impossible for other to access your company's personal data.
With more sensitive data being stored on laptops and taken away from the office, newspaper headlines are rife with stories of data theft or security breaches. With thieves becoming technologically advanced it is no longer enough to make sure your laptop is secured with a password. Even if you lose a laptop there is no guarantee that the data on it will remain secure if it is not encrypted. We have created a laptop encryption service that will help your data stay safe no matter where it is.

Secure building blocks for PCI compliance
The payment card companies, led by MasterCard and Visa, have allied to develop a common set of security requirements, known as the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, to ensure the continued integrity and good reputation of the electronic payment system. PCI requirements are designed to protect merchants, banks, and third-party payment processors from theft or compromise of sensitive customer account information.
Check Point Software, a worldwide leader in security, offers a suite of solutions that support merchants, financial institutions, and information processors in achieving compliance with the PCI standard. Check Point solutions are comprehensive and integrated, serving as a solid base for PCI compliance while also supporting requirements common to other security regulations. In addition, Check Point solutions deliver fundamental business value by reducing risk, supporting new payment channels (e.g., Web-based services), and protecting and enhancing the ongoing trust of cardholders and business partners.
SOX compliance deconstructed
Regulatory compliance is a hot topic and costly challenge for most organisations because it not only impacts a business as a whole but can also impact its officers. More and more regulations are being established to require companies to provide evidence that they can protect the privacy and ensure the secure access and integrity of their information resources for consumers and commercial businesses. A regulation that has caught the most attention is the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002 (SOX). SOX legislation was enacted to protect shareholders and the general public in the face of several high-profile financial scandals. The act mandated a number of reforms to enhance corporate responsibility, improve the integrity of financial disclosures, and combat corporate and accounting fraud.
Businesses are quickly realising that SOX compliance is not just about process management and documentation of its financial operations. It's also about information protection. IT security has become an important part of meeting new demands placed on businesses by SOX. Significant time and money are being spent on security technology, tools, and resources to ensure SOX compliance. Check Point's intelligent Internet security solutions offer the most proven unified security architecture for both protecting information resources and complying with SOX.
HIPAA compliance considerations
Healthcare organisations face both opportunities and challenges from today's complex, interconnected environment in which electronic information is collected and exchanged at an ever-increasing rate. While electronic information exchange has the potential to deliver profound benefits, it also increases the exposure of sensitive information. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) security standards are designed to ensure that healthcare organisations maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive patient information. In responding to HIPAA requirements, healthcare organisations seek solutions that are ongoing and repeatable and which are addressing multiple HIPAA requirements and reduce integration challenges.
Healthcare organisations that are not fully compliant with HIPAA are working to become so as soon as possible. Building a solid foundation for security is not just a matter of reducing the risk of noncompliance, it is about good business practices—protecting and enhancing operational efficiencies, delivery of care, and the trust of patients and business partners. Through an integrated array of solutions that address key HIPAA requirements, Check Point provides a comprehensive means for building your security base. Healthcare organisations can use Check Point solutions to attain a clean bill of health—in compliance and in business.
