Sensitive data, including personally identifiable information, credit card data, intellectual property, customer lists, and more is increasingly being stored in unstructured, easily accessed web-based repositories. Collaboration platforms such as Microsoft SharePoint make sharing information simple. IT security staff are challenged to determine what kinds of data and where this data is being stored, and to provide adequate security controls for collaboration platforms.

Compliance regulations including PCI DSS, GLBA, HIPAA, and state data breach laws are all driving organizations to identify sensitive data, and to provide adequate security controls including the use of encryption wherever the data is stored.

CipherPoint Software, Inc. is the first provider of transparent data encryption solutions for SharePoint. CipherPoint’s products secure sensitive data from the insider threat, external attackers, and privileged IT staff and database administrators., and enable organizations to meet their  compliance obligations.
