General FAQs

How will the this solution protect my company?

Remote Data Security & Control ensures that sensitive data stored on laptops and tablet PCs will never fall into the wrong hands. Even if you lose a device, the data contained inside will never be exposed because you erase it remotely with the click of a button.

A comprehensive approach to data security, it helps aid compliance to the Data Protection Act, and FSA and ICO regulations.

How does Remote Data Security & Control work?

Remote Data Security & Control secures access to sensitive data on your computer by detecting user behaviors which are inconsistent with expected norms - an indicator that unauthorised persons may be attempting to access the device. When this type of behavior is detected, sensitive data files are destroyed based on an administrator-controlled, pre-determined set of rules that cover both location and scale of destruction.

When setting up the solution, an administrator will determine their custom pre-set rules. The first action is to encrypt the files and folders on the machine that they classify as sensitive data. The second action is to inform the device software on the specific destructive actions to take in the event of loss. This involves defining the type of inconsistent usage behaviours and the preventative measures.

After the customised rules have been set up, the device is prepared to protect itself when an unauthorized access attempt occurs. Additionally, if the lost device ever attempts to connect to the internet after being registered as lost, the Remote Data Security & Control software will automatically communicate with our back-end infrastructure and immediately start destroying sensitive data.

How does Remote Data Security & Control differ from other data security software?

Other data security softwares rely on encryption alone to prevent access to data on lost or stolen devices. Remote Data Security & Control provides data security by not only encrypting data but also destroying it - even when the organisation is no longer in possession of the equipment.

By giving the IT administrator control over their user's device security, the organisation is far less reliant on users' adherence to security policies and procedures - giving control back to those who are responsible.

Remote Data Security & Control provide industry-standard levels of encryption?

Yes. Remote Data Security & Control supports Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for disk encryption - bank level encryption standards.

Is there a recommended number of users for Remote Data Security & Control?

We recommend that Remote Data Security & Control is only used in an environment where there at least 25 machines that need protecting.
