Securing content stored in SharePoint and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations is a significant challenge. Doing so transparently without adversely affecting your user community is equally challenging.

CipherPoint Software has developed advanced security technology that provides encryption and access control of sensitive content and which delivers control to IT security management, while delivering a seamless user experience for your end users.

CipherPointKM™ is an advanced data security and key management console for enterprise SharePoint environments with multi-server farms. CipherPointKM provides critical key management and data security management functions, including reporting, access control, and management of keys used in farms running CipherPointSP Enterprise™. CipherPointKM provides a data security management dashboard from which IT security managers can easily deploy security policies to many remote SharePoint farms.

CipherPointKM is part of a comprehensive data security and compliance solution. It provides advanced encryption key management, using a policy-based mechanism to automatically distribute, revoke, rotate, and retain content encryption keys. CipherPointKM provides centralized management of multiple CipherPointSP Enterprise agents deployed on multiple SharePoint servers or farms. 

The CipherPoint software solution helps organizations to comply with numerous compliance regulations including GLBA, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and state data breach notification laws.
