Cigent's endpoint data protection offers real-time monitoring of security posture and enforcement of data compliance policies, with optimized workflows to set, monitor, and document status efficiently to complete audits.
There are increasing expectations to meet compliance standards, as endpoint compliance is required across nearly all organizations. Among the most common is CfSC for Full Device Encryption. However, current options, built on 90s architecture, are inefficient and incapable of effectively providing granular control. Additionally, workflows are complex and disjointed. The result is that when you need it most, you may be unable to ensure encryption is enabled. Beyond CfSC, there is a myriad of additional regulations required for various industries and data types. Organizations are challenged to piece together capabilities to meet their compliance mandates.
