Why use BackStopp?
- Can you be 100% certain all your data is secure?
- Can you be 100% certain all users secure their data?
- What happens if a laptop is lost or stolen?
- Are you in breach of Data Protection rules?
- What data is there on your mobile devices?
It is a fact that computer devices are becoming ever smaller more mobile and more powerful. It is inevitable that users will harness this power on the move and applications and data will be resident on mobile devices. While the industry talks about centralised data and application management the evidence of a plethora of smaller and more powerful laptops, PDAs and Smartphones suggest otherwise, at least for the foreseeable future.
In 2007 laptop purchases outstripped desktops for the first time and the trend is moving increasingly in that direction. Factors such as working in a global economy and more flexible working practises will mean more mobile computing devices than ever before. It is no surprise that mobile devices are more vulnerable to loss or theft than those in secure office environments.
The actual number of devices that are lost or stolen will probably never be known because many organisations sweep their loss under the carpet to avoid official censure or negative publicity. US legislation already obliges organisations to divulge when a laptop has been lost or stolen and the EU is set to follow suit. In short, for each organisation, losing just one laptop is enough to create unease amongst customers, staff or other stakeholders and create a problem for the management. Backstopp can take away the pain.
- Any organisation that deploys laptops in a mobile environment is potentially susceptible to loss or theft.
- If there is any chance that an organisation’s laptops could contain potentially sensitive data then loss or theft could be a serious problem.
- Even if encryption tools are deployed the offended organisation can not really be absolutely sure that the user followed the encryption protocols or that the thief is not determined or capable enough of cracking the code.
Backstopp provides that reassurance. Backstopp’s philosophy is that if the data is not present it simply can’t be compromised. If the laptop is turned on where there is a mobile phone signal the data will be deleted, encrypted or not. The comprehensive report proves it and the organisation can get on with business.
