Dept. 05 / What You Keep

Two lines, and the first is a survey of your own building.

Most shops sit on more regulated material than anybody inside believes. Old applications, leftovers from a project that wound up two years back, an export somebody ran once for a meeting. The first line counts the lot. The second locks it and rules on which doors it may leave by.

Starts withA count, not a promise

Count first, argue later

Every conversation about protecting sensitive material goes in circles until somebody produces a number. The survey line walks the machines and turns up social security numbers, card data and personal records, then reports which machines hold them and roughly what the exposure is worth.

That number achieves what no policy document has ever managed. Priorities sort themselves out, and whether the work is worth doing usually stops being a debate about ten minutes into the first report.

One honest number achieves what no policy document ever has. Priorities sort themselves out the moment it exists.

Then put the locks on

The enforcement line locks sensitive files where they already lie and opens them for the programs entitled to have them. Copy one out by a route nobody approved and what you are holding will not open. That beats a policy asking people politely not to.

Rules follow whichever compliance profile your trade answers to, and several run alongside each other, since a clinic and a builder answer to different people and often share the same make of laptop.

The lines themselves

Spec cards and prices

Every figure below is pulled live out of billing while the page opens, which means the number printed is the number a card would see. Whatever you add rests on the order pad, and it stays there afterwards.

Find the Sensitive Files

Actifile, counting what you hold before anybody argues about it

Nothing gets protected until somebody counts it. This line walks the machines and turns up the social security numbers, the card numbers and the personal records, then reports where they sit and roughly what their departure would cost. It is a survey of your own building, and the answer surprises most owners.

  • Turns up personal records and card data over Windows, macOS and Linux.
  • Puts a plain number on the exposure, machine by machine, so the order of work is obvious.
  • Keeps watching the count rather than taking one photograph and filing it away.

Lock the Files, Fence the Exits

Actifile with the locks turned on, encryption plus rules about which doors open

Everything the survey line does, plus action. Sensitive files are locked where they lie and unlocked for the programs entitled to them, so a copy carried out the side door is nonsense to whoever carried it. Rules follow whichever compliance profile your trade must answer to.

  • Files locked where they lie, opened only by programs on the approved list.
  • One set of rules per compliance profile, since a clinic and a builder answer to different people.
  • A copy sent out by a route nobody approved arrives as nonsense at the far end.

What comes with these lines

Everything below is part of the monthly price. None of it is a separate quote later on.

  • Agent deployment onto each device you put on the line.
  • Survey runs, and the exposure reporting that falls out of them.
  • Locking and channel policy drawn up with you, wherever the enforcement line is bought.
  • Profiles matched to whichever rulebook your trade has to satisfy.
Where this counter ends

What these lines do not do

This counter carries the sharpest edges in the shop. Read them before buying.

  • A person allowed to see it can still take it. A person with legitimate access can choose to keep a copy. The controls are your leavers' routine, your access reviews and whatever the employment paperwork says. None of the three is software.
  • Discovery finds patterns, not meaning. It knows the shape of regulated material very well indeed. It knows nothing about your trade, so a person should read the first pass before anybody acts on it.
  • Encryption is not a compliance program. Locking files is one control among many in every framework worth naming. It helps, it evidences effort, and it is nowhere near the whole exam.
  • Coverage follows the devices. Files sitting on machines that never carry the agent go unfound and unprotected. That takes in the laptop somebody keeps at home for quiet work.
  • We do not classify for you. We report what exists and where it sits. What the business may hold, and for how long it may hold it, belongs to you and your lawyer.
