Disk Encryption Service Features

mindSHIFT’s Managed Disk Encryption Service provides small and medium-sized organizations with Disk encryption as a managed servicecomprehensive, nonstop disk encryption, enabling quick, cost-effective protection for data on Windows-based desktops and laptops. The encrypted data is continuously safeguarded from unauthorized access, providing strong security for all your data, including intellectual property, customer and partner data, and corporate brand equity.

Key features of the mindSHIFT Managed Disk Encryption Service include:

  • Easy, automatic operation. Protect data without changing the user experience.
  • Rapid deployment. Accelerate encryption deployment by avoiding the time-consuming, up-front evaluation, technology training, selection, procurement and implementation/installation processes.
  • Encryption all the time. Ensure that all data on users’ systems is encrypted, even when they’re offline.
  • Enforced security policies. You don’t have to train - and trust – users to save all their data in an encrypted folder.
  • Easy, ongoing management. Avoid the time-consuming hassle of getting up the technology curve and supporting and managing the technology day-in, day-out.
  • Best-in-class encryption technology. Keep private data private by using PGP AES 256-bit security – which far exceeds the 128-bit security that most regulations stipulate is necessary for your organization to avoid reputation-damaging data breach notifications.
