Increase Data Security
Achieve regulatory compliance with laws mandating increased access to, and protection of, information.
In the U.S., many new laws mandate increased access to information (e.g., the No Child Left Behind Act) or require increased security and privacy of information (e.g., HIPAA, California Senate Bill 1386, Sarbanes-Oxley). Failure to meet these requirements can result in heavy fines and even prison terms.
Security is also becoming more stringently controlled in Europe through such recent regulations as Common Criteria and FIPS-140. While privacy regulations in Asia and Latin America are not as stringent, the fact that these regions are part of the global economy is exerting pressure to balance the “free and efficient flow of information” with “the protection of intellectual property rights, privacy and data security,” according to the Seoul Declaration on privacy and the Asia Pacific Information Infrastructure (APII). IT administrators are in the hot seat to meet the regulations that are in force in any country in which their company does business.
Lucida can provide technology solutions that deliver a range of regulatory compliance benefits, including:
- Assuring compliance through a “secure by design” network architecture, and granular control of enterprise resource access based on user, device, location, and network connection
- Using a “VPN everywhere” approach to ensure the encrypted transmission of all network data
- Controlling information by automatically determining whether users may download, edit, print, or preview documents
- Protecting information from inadvertently being left on client devices
- Reducing likelihood of sloppy password management causing security breaches
- Tracking who accesses what applications when, as well as all password change events
- Lowering costs to achieve and maintain corporate standards and regulatory compliance
- Enabling on-demand monitoring and reporting of IT infrastructure access controls
