Professional Services Risks Professional service
organizations leverage their global presence to provide
fast, highly-sophisticated responses to client needs. In
this arena, sharing and transferring large quantities of
data is central to delivering on-time and on-budget. Due to
the complex nature of many consulting engagements, this data
is often highly-sensitive – and often accessed directly from
client networks by the consultant.
The challenge for professional services organizations in
today's highly-competitive market is how to keep proprietary
client information like patents, source code, product
designs, and business plans both accessible and secure.
Maintaining the privacy of client data is not only important
for future client relations, but also for mitigating legal
liability.
Nowhere is this challenge more relevant than at the
endpoint – home of over 60% of sensitive corporate data,
according to studies. The prevalence of PCs/laptops,
removable storage, increased reliance on wireless
networking, global collaboration on projects, and even the
popularity of smartphones or personal music devices (iPods
or MP3 players) – means that client data, once safe behind
the corporate firewall, is now more vulnerable than ever
before.
Meeting the Data Security Challenges for
Professional Services Companies
Automatically identifying security vulnerabilities, while
simultaneously enforcing device usage and encryption
policies at the endpoint, Safend Data Protection Suite
enables professional services organizations to safeguard
sensitive client data and facilitate compliance with
existing and emerging privacy standards.
Safend Data Protection Suite guards the wealth of
confidential information on corporate networks by
eliminating the risk of critical data being lost or
improperly disclosed via endpoints.
Safend protects information residing on the endpoint from
unauthorized access and prevents the introduction of malware
by monitoring real-time traffic and applying customized,
highly-granular security policies over all PCs/laptops
including physical, wireless and storage devices. Safend
detects, logs and restricts unapproved data transfer from
any computer in the enterprise – protecting each computer
100% of the time, even when it is not connected to the
network, and also enforcing encryption of data stored on
laptops, external storage devices and CD/DVDs.

- Centrally monitor and control inbound and outbound
data traffic through the multitude of endpoint ports at
the branch, regional and corporate offices
