“We already have the Data Protection Act and Sarbanes Oxley in the UK, but inevitably these will get stronger and new laws will be introduced.”

Overview

Data Protection Solutions for Government

A safer, stronger government depends upon the protection of sensitive data and of information systems, and encryption is the government-recommended standard for protecting national security and military information.

With the growing use of electronic information in the government sector, strong data security has become equally important for securing sensitive health, tax and social insurance information of private citizens.




Support e-government initiatives with strong data security

State and federal government agencies alike are moving steadily into the electronic age, using technology to eliminate paper waste and improve the delivery of services to the American people. However, as the use of electronic records increases, so too does the need for strong data security measures. GuardianEdge Technologies develops encryption software solutions that help government agencies protect personal electronic records and maintain compliance with regulations such as FISMA in a cost-effective manner. As a result, government agencies can use GuardianEdge data protection solutions to achieve a sustainable balance between governance, commerce and technology.

GuardianEdge data security solutions use cryptographic technology that has been tested and approved against exacting standards such as FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria. In addition, GuardianEdge encryption software products such as the Encryption Anywhere Data Protection Platform offer unparalleled scalability and can easily be deployed to support distributed computing environments and government technology initiatives such as the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) framework.

By adopting data security solutions from GuardianEdge Technologies, government agencies can:

  • Reduce redundancies in infrastructure and administrative personnel
  • Facilitate horizontal (cross-federal) and vertical (federal, state and local) information sharing
  • Establish a direct relationship between IT and mission/program performance to support citizen-centered, customer-focused government
  • Maximize IT investments to better achieve mission outcomes
  • Achieve ongoing compliance with government regulations such as the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)

Many federal and state agencies, including the Department of Defense, NASA, the State Department and the Department of Commerce, are already using GuardianEdge data protection solutions such as Encryption Plus Hard Disk and Encryption Plus Email. GuardianEdge Technologies encryption software products can be found on Federal Supply Schedule GS-35F-4188D.
