Chartered Accountants Adopt Egress Switch to Protect Client Data
Leading independent firm of Chartered Accountants promotes secure collaboration when sharing confidential information
London, United Kingdom, August 05, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Egress Software Technologies, an innovator in secure collaboration, announced today that Hawsons Chartered Accountants has selected Egress Switch to protect and control information shared between the firm and its clients.
Tough new UK legislation has increased market awareness of the risks associated with sharing sensitive information electronically. Subsequently, legal and accountancy firms are taking measures into their own hands in order to protect client data.
Hawsons frequently exchange confidential information when providing a wide range of services such as payroll bureau, corporate taxation, personal taxation, and audit & accountancy. “Our practice distributes large amounts of confidential information on a daily basis, often using a variety of exchange mechanisms such as email, CD/DVD, or files uploaded to the Web,” said Charles Kavazy Director of IT Services. “Egress Switch offers us a flexible solution that caters for each of these transport mechanisms, without introducing complex processes or the need to install any expensive infrastructure.”
Delivered as a hosted service to guarantee rapid deployment and low cost of ownership, Egress Switch enables users to encrypt information in a single click, protecting data wherever it resides. “Egress Switch provides us with real-time control, detailed auditing, and branded policy disclaimers helping us to control risk and protect data.”
Egress Switch offers complete protection of outbound data regardless of file size or transport mechanism. Using AES 256-bit encryption, Switch secures confidential information sent by email, copied to USB removable media, burnt to CD/DVD, or uploaded to FTP/Cloud Servers. Information owners can then track recipient activity and modify policies in real-time through a service in the Cloud. This patented technology allows users to instantly ‘pull information back’ should there be evidence that the data has been lost or mishandled.
Egress Switch also offers role based user management, integrated data classification, customisable disclaimers, and configurable security rules, enabling Administrators to enforce policy centrally without the need to install any costly infrastructure. This next generation level of control and ease-of-use features not only mitigates the risk of unintentional data loss, but also enforces recipient responsibility when handling confidential information.
