“Three years before news stories of lost data were commonplace, we committed to whole disk encryption on all our laptops and field office computers. The decision is paying for itself many times over with saved notification costs, brand reputation, and by living up to our customer promise of protecting their identity and confidential information.”
—Pat Lefemine, Chief Information Security Officer, Lincoln Financial Group.
The California Department of Health (CDHS), one of the largest government agencies in the state, administers a broad range of public and clinical programs that provide health care services to Californians. In mid-2005, CDHS began looking for a data encryption software solution to maintain HIPAA compliance and improve security for their laptop computers.
CDHS decided to implement the Encryption Plus® Hard Disk solution from GuardianEdge™ Technologies. Encryption Plus Hard Disk is an award-winning software application that protects all data stored on a laptop or desktop computer hard drive, including documents, applications, and the operating system itself. As an enterprise-class data protection solution, Encryption Plus Hard Disk is easy for large organizations to deploy and manage.
CDHS quickly installed the Encryption Plus Hard Disk software on nearly 2,000 laptop computers and positioned itself as a Best Practice leader and a compliance model for other state departments and agencies. CDHS now uses Encryption Plus Hard Disk to protect laptop data with encryption in more than 50 field offices, safeguarding the privacy of California citizens while helping the department streamline its compliance efforts.
