Protect Your Business Records And Meet Your Privacy Obligations

Privacy Regulations, such as the UK Data Protection Act, Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and California SB 1386 are three of the growing list of privacy laws that organizations need to be aware of when doing business in certain countries. These laws are designed to protect the privacy and personal information of individuals.

The Assureon "virtual disposition" option encrypts all fi les under management based on a unique encryption key. At the time of disposition, Assureon scrubs all copies of the fi le it has access to and then deletes the fi le along with its encryption key. When the encryption key is deleted, every copy of the fi le, regardless of location and media (Tape, Disk, Optical, DVD, or WORM Media) is effectively destroyed.

Assureon has an integrated retention management system which allows an organization to apply their retention policies to any document without the necessity of implementing a third-party document management system. Retention policies can include information such as length of retention, document type, whether to encrypt the information, and so on. Retention policies can be transparent to end users.
