- Complete, granular insight into the use, access, location, and distribution of sensitive data enables companies to fully understand and then eliminate their risk exposure and comply with regulatory mandates.
Herzeliya Pitach, Israel and Wadgassen, Germany, November 17 2010 – Nogacom, a leading provider of information management solutions, introduces its NogaLogic Data Risk Assessment service offering – an innovative service that uniquely enables customers to discover and eliminate their sensitive data risk exposures.
The NogaLogic Data Risk Assessment provides Information Security and Compliance Officers with an effective, quick and cost-efficient way to identify their organization’s sensitive information and understand the way it’s used, accessed, stored and distributed. With this unparalleled insight companies can then take the appropriate actions needed to reduce risk exposures and comply with governance and compliance regulations for data protection.
The NogaLogic Data Risk Assessment is performed by Nogacom’s Professional Services experts who deliver a comprehensive report on critical risk factors and provide expert recommendations on how to mitigate these risks, including:
- Data storage and ownership issues
- Improper copying and re-versioning of sensitive data
- Active and inactive permissions for access to files and mailboxes containing sensitive data
- Email distribution of sensitive data in the body of emails and as file attachments
- Potential threats to availability of sensitive data
- Content retention issues
Organizations have a tremendous amount of sensitive unstructured data residing in reports, memos, proposals, contracts, emails, presentations and other documents scattered across their IT infrastructure. Users are constantly copying, pasting, sharing and re-purposing this data in ways that may expose the organization to unacceptable information risk. Few organizations, however, have any visibility into this activity―and therefore have no way of bringing it under proper control.
Nogacom’s service directly addresses this business risk by using its advanced NogaLogic data classification technology with its extensive reporting capabilities to pinpoint sensitive data residing in its documents―and discover all actions performed on the data, such as a contract containing sensitive business information that was used as a template, edited and then resent to unauthorized users. Or a former employee who created a rule that forwarded all his corporate emails to a personal email account after he left the company. Or the CFO who gave the IT help desk full rights on her mailbox so that they could fix a problem but then forgot to remove these rights, thereby giving IT full access to highly sensitive business information. By uncovering these previously undetectable work practices or user behaviors which put the company at risk, the NogaLogic Data Risk Assessment enables security and compliance officers to resolve potential problems with unprecedented effectiveness.
“While most organizations have implemented reasonably effective security measures for protecting themselves against network intrusions, unauthorized access to structured databases, and other threats, they struggle with dealing with the significant risk created by the hundreds of thousands of documents that proliferate across their enterprises―any of which could contain sensitive data,” commented Thomas Quednau, Nogacom’s CEO. “By leveraging our powerful NogaLogic data discovery and classification engine, Nogacom is uniquely able to address this widespread information security problem with a convenient, non-disruptive service that immediately exposes these hidden problems so that customers can confidently fix them.”
