First ever true SaaS PC encryption tool provides immediate compliance wherever PCs are located
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) June 2, 2010 -- Beachhead Solutions Inc. announced today the first true PC encryption compliance tool offered as a monthly service through qualified Beachhead Managed Service Providers (MSPs). For those organizations affected by the new laws requiring encryption of sensitive PC data, BeachheadMANAGED can be remotely deployed providing immediate compliance to the new laws. This is a particularly welcome alternative for organizations that’ve been unable or unwilling to deploy and support the rigorous requirements of installed PC encryption software.
Recently, new legislation has been passed both on the federal and state levels specifying PC encryption as a necessary component to ensure security for consumer and patient data. The HITECH Act of 2009 fortified the HIPAA requirements of its covered entities (CEs) requiring PC encryption of Electronic Patient Health Information (ePHI). Both CEs and their business associates (BAs) are now subject to audits and failure to satisfy compliance requirements will be met with significant fines and penalties. This year Massachusetts and Nevada enacted legislation that also mandates consumer PC data encryption. These statutes broaden business data protection beyond the disclosure laws now effective in 43 states. Note: Businesses in these 43 states are exempted from disclosure requirements if compromised data is encrypted.
Architected to be delivered through “The Cloud” and offered as a subscription (“SaaS”), Beachhead products were the first PC data security products conforming to the cloud/SaaS model and offering all the benefits inherent in the approach. Providers offering the tool have visibility and dynamic control over security policy on all their customer PCs. For example, if a customer’s PC is lost, the MSP can be called upon to disallow access to the data on the PC, shielding it from unauthorized users – even those who are able to logon (e.g. when password is stolen or if the PC is stolen with the power on). Destruction and restoration of encryption keys and elimination of at-risk data are available as value-added security services that can protect data when encryption alone can’t.
