Data encryption services
Protect and secure your business documents and emails using our data encryption services.
Information about your business that is stored on computers in plain text can essentially be read and used by anyone who can gain access to those devices.
This includes everything from documents to emails, and sensitive or confidential files can easily end up in the wrong hands if you don’t put data encryption measures in place to prevent this from happening.
What is data encryption?
Data encryption keeps your information secure by translating files or messages into code, and only those with access via a password or decryption key can read it. This is just one part of a whole line of defence that can be set up to keep your data safe, but the encryption process is vital in preventing unauthorised parties from reading and using your data should they manage to access it.
How to protect data in your business
Whether you’re sending documents that are meant for the recipient’s eyes only, or are saving sensitive information to your computer, encrypting this data can give you peace of mind that no-one else will be able to read it. Many businesses simply opt for protecting files using passwords, but these can be easily worked out by hackers who will use software to break into your files, whereas decoding encrypted data is far more difficult.
For files and documents saved on your computer, you can have them encrypted using FileVault or Bitlocker. This will mean that they will be safe from hackers and you can feel confident that your business’ private information is safe. Whole hard drives and folders can be encrypted using our data encryption services, it doesn’t just have to be individual documents.
This means that should your device become accessible to a hacker, they won’t be able to see the contents of your computer but will be faced with uncrackable code instead.
Protecting business emails from hackers
Within your business, it’s likely that you and your employees use email to share all kinds of information. Although this is a quick and easy way to send documents, data, and other updates, emails can be susceptible to hacking and anything you send could end up being read by unauthorised people. This doesn’t just mean individuals who are unlawfully accessing your emails, but also includes those who might have been sent or forwarded the email accidentally.
Protecting business emails from hackers
To protect your emails from falling into the wrong hands, you can use the Office 365 Message Encryption (OME) service which will protect your emails from anyone that hasn’t been authorised to access them. This way, if an email gets sent to someone outside of the business, or is obtained via hacking, they won’t be able to read the content.
