Data Loss Prevention  

How can you ensure your business is protected from leaking confidential information?

Over the past two-years Data Loss Prevention (DLP) has emerged as the highest profile  new technology area in information security and risk management. It spans several broad industry trends, including the move to business driven information risk management and data centric policy-based security.

Enterprises and Government agencies must also comply with ever increasing regulatory requirements, such as e-Discovery, which require them to control and store their electronic communication, and be able to prove this control via an audit trail.

According to Gartner “through 2010 we expect 80-90% of sensitive information leaks to be unintentional, accidental or the result of poor business processes”

3BView’s products solve a key component of DLP, and help to eliminate  human error by enabling the automated and policy-based management of metadata within communications and documents.

Our 3BClean system is server-based which enables automated and policy-based metadata removal, and is therefore transparent to the user. Metadata can be extracted from documents sent by email, or those contained within Content and Document Management Systems (CMS and DMS)

Solution overview:

• Wide service spectrum - supports any email client and email server (Blackberry, PDA, iPhone and Webmail)
• Multiple format support -includes MS Office, OpenDocument Format and PDF
• Automated system with low operational costs - metadata is removed automatically according to centrally set rules. No User training is required, or ongoing technical support which substantially reduces the application lifecycle costs.
• Reduced risk of leakage - no User intervention is required, which ensures a consistent service level, and reduces the risks of inadvertent data leakage .
• Improved User experience – the automated system provides a service that is transparent to the User, and works reliably, out of sight, on the company network. Removing metadata from documents is a processor intensive application for desktop or laptop computers, which can cause users issues, and severely degrade employee productivity. Transferring this processing to the network or via SaaS is therefore especially important for organisations that send large quantities of documents via email.
• Ease of Integration – well documented APIs enable ease of integration into Data Loss Prevention (DLP) systems and Document and Content Management Systems.
• Conversion to Secure PDF – option to generate a secured PDF prior to final document distribution
