A higher standard
of protection
Military-grade protection from Safexs
Healthcare agencies must comply
with data security mandates including
the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA), Health
Information Technology for Economic
and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act
and Evolving ASTM Standards for
Medical Device Interoperability.
It is vital for hospitals, healthcare
providers, insurers and pharmaceutical
companies to take the risk out of
mobility and to simplify HIPPA and
GDPR audits.
Government organisations must
comply with an ever increasing list of
legislative requirements and protocols
designed to protect sensitive data
in transit and at rest, including the
OMB M06-16 mandate, Federal
Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC)
mandates and General Data Protection
Regulation.
Financial services companies, too,
must comply with an ever expanding
array of data security regulations and
standards. These include the Gramm-
Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Sarbanes-
Oxley Act (SOX), Payment Card Industry
Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
and European Union Data Protection
Directive (EUDPD).The cost of failing
to comply with these regulations is
significantly higher than the cost of
compliance. And failure to comply
can impact your business if it means
employees cannot work efficiently.
Make sure your customers’
data is protected at all times by
recommending Safexs encrypted USB

The backing up of data is an important
aspect of computer security that can
prevent unnecessary expenditure
in terms of time taken to retrieve
data and the cost of data recovery, if
required.
There are many reasons why data
could be lost/destroyed – natural
disasters, such as fire and flood; theft;
electrical failure; computer viruses;
hardware malfunction.
Encrypted USB devices include
features that help prevent data
loss. These can include password
protection; automatic data erasure
after a number of failed password
attempts; and rugged, waterproof/
shockproof/x-ray-proof designs
to protect against knocks, bumps,
spillages and other accidents.
Safexs has a range of encrypted
USB devices that protect data from
unauthorised access, malware
infection and accidental loss.
The Guardian range of software-
encrypted devices features Brute Force
Protection and AES256-bit software
encryption, in line with Military Grade
standards.
The Protector range of hardware-
encrypted devices have FIPS 197
accreditation and are government-
approved, making them perfect for
public sector bodies, educational
establishments and anyone carrying
sensitive, confidential information.
FIPS accreditation
H
ardware encryption and FIPS
accreditation are essential for public
sector users. FIPS stands for ‘Federal
Information Processing Standards’ and
is a certification used for encrypted
devices. Using FIPS-approved devices is
the best way to protect your data.
Each area of the Public Sector has
mandates that you will need to be
aware of so that you can sell your
customer the right device.
